A judge has ruled that the dispute between Marina Granovskaia and agent Saif Alrubie regarding Kurt Zouma’s 2021 transfer from Chelsea to West Ham will be arbitrated by the FA rather than remaining in court. Alrubie alleges he is owed nearly 3 million in commission based on FIFA regulations concerning transfer fees. Granovskaia, who supervised the transfer while at Chelsea, has since departed from the club, complicating the case's jurisdiction. The judge ruled that Granovskaia's past affiliation does not allow the case to remain in court, directing Alrubie to cover Granovskaia's court costs.
"The ruling specifies that the case concerning Kurt Zouma's transfer should be referred to the Football Association for arbitration, rather than remaining in court."
"Alrubie claims he is owed close to 3 million as commission from Zouma’s transfer, which was facilitated by Granovskaia during her tenure at Chelsea."
