Derek Boateng
Greek giants Olympiakos are ready to report Derek Boateng and Fulham to FIFA if the English side sign the Ghanaian midfielder.
Olympiakos officials are furious over reports in England that Boateng is on the verge of signing for Fulham and will report the Ghanaian to FIFA.
Insiders of the Greek side said they already have a one-year deal with Boateng as they await the verdict from FIFA over his legal battle with Dnipro.
The midfield anchorman has been training with Olympiakos in recent months while taking his legal battle with his former Ukrainian club to Fifa.
But news that the Ghana midfielder was the west London club’s guest for their recent home match against Reading, having completed the formalities of a move to Craven Cottage, has infuriated Olympiakos.
The Greek side are monitoring moves at Fulham before taking their complaint to the world governing body.
Fulham were on the brink of signing the 29-year-old both in January and last summer but the deal fell through on both occasions.
Boateng is believed to have even had a medical at the club’s Motspur Park headquarters in January before the Cottagers enlisted lawyers to investigate the legitimacy of his contract with Ukrainian club Dnipro.
Boateng’s camp claimed that his deal with Dnipro, who he joined in the summer of 2011, had been annulled but Fulham were unwilling to award him a contract until they received proof that his claim was watertight.
Fulham are satisfied that the Ghana international is a free agent and that he is now available for a move to Craven Cottage.
Boateng is set to be confirmed as a Fulham player soon after the Premier League transfer window opens next Monday.
