Ujpest would demand a huge amount

The footballer left Ujpest unilaterally after having a conflict with the coaches and ended up in the club's second team. He broke up with Ujpest, signed with FCSB as a free agent and will be able to play for the Romanian champion only from the next calendar year.

FCSB, complained to FIFA by Ujpest after the transfer of Andre Duarte

Now, those from Ujpest would open a lawsuit against those from FCSB and Duarte to ask for compensation, according to those from iamsport.ro.

It would be about a sum of around 1.7 million euros: 1.2 million euros the termination clause and 480,000 euros the amount paid by Ujpest to transfer him from Osijek in August 2024.

If Ujpest decides to open litigation, and the Hungarian team receives a positive response, Andre Duarte and FCSB would pay the amount half and half, exactly 850,000 euros each.

FCU Craiova 2.0! Andre Duarte annoyed Mititelu and left Romania

It is not the first time that Andre Duarte is involved in such a situation. In July 2023, the Portuguese was reported missing by Adrian Mititelu.

The dispute was triggered by the fact that FCU Craiova claimed that Duarte had one year left on his contract, the player and his manager said that the deal expired on June 30, 2023.

In any case, Andre Duarte did not return to Bănie after the end of the previous season and ended up in Osijek, a Croatian team for which he played for a year, before arriving in Ujpest.

The Romanian champions announce that Andre Duarte will play for our team starting next month. The 28-year-old Portuguese defender has already completed his medical and signed the contract, going to play with the number 3 shirt. Our club wishes him a warm welcome and may he have as many successes as possible in the red-blue shirt!
