Breaking News: ZJK boycotting Super League due to contract dispute with Luneng
Previously, Zhang Jike indicated that he had recovered quite well and would play on July 11 against Jiangsu. However, Zhang Jike not only did not play on July 11 but did not even show up for the match. According to a breaking news by CCTV, it turned out that he was boycotting Super League due to contract dispute with Luneng. Although 2015 Super League is already half way and Zhang Jike already signed the contract after first round, Luneng has not signed the contract as of today saying they want to wait and see Zhang Jike's performance before signing. The club's representative said that if Zhang Jike performs well then the Club will have no problem signing the contract. At the meantime, Zhang Jike already played for Luneng for five rounds without a contract! Luneng management admitted that all the players at Luneng have a contract except for Zhang Jike before the season starts!
In Super League's 20 years' history (Super League started in 1995), Zhang Jike is the first player who boycotts due to contract dispute with the club.
Is it normal for professional players to start a season without a contract with sports club? Should a player play for the club without a contract? Can a club say that it wants to wait and see as the season proceeds to decided whether to sign the contract?
