JAKARTA - The heated tension between Marko Simic and Persija Jakarta regarding the payment of the player's salary continues. Simic even accused the Kemayoran Tigers of lying and would report this to FIFA as the world's official soccer body.

Simic's intention to report this problem to FIFA was expressed through an upload on his Instagram account. Initially, this Croatian player did not agree with Persija's management who denied that they were in arrears in wages for a year.

"Persija Jakarta did not pay my salary according to the agreement in the contract before Covid, during Covid, or after Covid ended," Simic wrote on Instastory.

"This means the club is not telling the truth in their statement," Simic continued.

Regarding this issue, Simic had asked for an explanation about the case. However, according to him, what he got from the club was not what he expected.

Therefore, Simic intends to take decisive steps and does not hesitate to bring this polemic to FIFA regarding the unpaid salary arrears by the club.

"I expect something like this from them. Just to clarify the issue, I will fight for my rights in front of FIFA and I believe I will win," continued Simic.

Previously, Simic admitted that he was forced to unilaterally terminate the contract because he did not get his rights for a year at Persija.

This was then responded by Persija management. Through his official statement, Macan Kemayoran denied the statement from Simic. Club president Mohamad Prapanca said Simic's comments could not be justified.

"Persija is a law-abiding and law-abiding club. It is not true that there is a statement that says players' salaries are not paid for one year," said Prapanca.
