Iranian football club Trauktor has initiated legal proceedings against Albanian midfielder Regi Lošković following his transfer to Emirati club Al Jazira (formerly Al Dhafra) without obtaining a release clause. The club, based in Tabriz, announced that it had not issued any consent for the player's departure and is seeking compensation for what it considers a breach of contract.
According to an official statement released by Trauktor, Lošković still has two years remaining on his contract with the club. The statement emphasized that all obligations under the agreement have been fulfilled and that no release clause was signed. The Iranian side expressed surprise at the transfer and is now pursuing the matter through the player and his legal representatives.
Lošković joined Trauktor at the start of last year from the Albanian league. During his tenure in Tabriz, he was not a regular starter under head coach Dragan Skočić but managed to score important goals in both the AFC Champions League and the domestic league. The club continued to pay his salary even during periods of conflict, considering him an active squad member.
The club’s legal action mirrors a recent case involving former Sepahan player Riccardo Alvarez, who was ordered to pay $800,000 in damages to Trauktor for a similar unauthorized contract termination. Trauktor intends to file a complaint against Lošković for wrongful termination and seeks appropriate compensation.
