Dynamo refused to «respond to the blackmail» of the escaped player

MOSCOW, July 24, Pavel Levkovich. Member of the board of directors of Dynamo Moscow Dmitry Gafin told reporters that the club is not going to respond to blackmail by the agent of the football player Guillermo Varela, who took advantage of the situation with FIFA's permission to suspend the contract in order to get a higher salary. Earlier, Dynamo said that it considers Varela's actions as a violation of contractual obligations. Varela is in an unknown location for us. As far as I know, he does not answer calls. He just left the base at night without warning anyone. Our lawyers are now analyzing the situation. Based on the result of this analysis, we will take some action. We respect our club and we simply cannot respond to blackmail. You can draw conclusions from my answer,» said Gafin. «We talk with foreigners regularly. Each case is individual: Balbuena has one situation, Shimansky about — the other, at Varela — you yourself see. In all previous situations, we found solutions with mutual respect. In the latter case, this is not the case with us yet,» Gafin added.
