Soccer team Sporting Lisbon said it will scrap agreements with the Doyen Sports player investment fund because the firm has been trying to arrange the sale of defender Marcos Rojo without its authorization.
Sporting, an 18-time Portuguese champion, will rescind contracts Malta-registered Doyen had in Zakaria Labyad and Rojo, who played for Argentina at the World Cup and is refusing to train amid interest from Manchester United. Doyen Sports owns 75 percent of the player’s economic rights and will get the same percentage of any transfer fee.
