Cellino to appeal after Brescia collapse sends Tonali cash to FIFA

Brescia's liquidation means €4m from Sandro Tonali's Tottenham move goes to a FIFA fund.

What happened. Brescia's judicial liquidation on 28 July means the €4m solidarity payment from Tonali's Tottenham transfer will go to FIFA instead of the club.

• Cellino reactivated Brescia's registration on 30 June to claim the fee.
• The club has €20m of debt and was excluded from professional leagues.
• Cellino plans to appeal, citing a misinterpretation in the ruling.

“I hope this decision is still reversible, because there’s a big error of interpretation.”

— Massimo Cellino

Cellino's appeal could determine whether creditors or FIFA receive the funds.
