Barca 'to be reported to FIFA' after failing to pay transfer fee for new arrival

  /  arrowhead

West Bromwich Albion are set to report Barcelona to FIFA after not being paid the required compensation for youngster Louie Barry, according to Express and Star.

Catalan giants Barca were ordered to pay £235,000 in compensation for wonderkid Barry - after the striker had snubbed a three year contract to stay at the Hawthorns.

The £235,000 number is a flat rate made by FIFA for overseas clubs to sign young players.

But according to the Express and Star, the Baggies are yet to receive a penny of the cash, and haven't heard anything from Barca regarding the payment.

As such, the Baggies are ready to turn to the sport's governing body FIFA to put pressure on the La Liga side to stump up what is owed.
