Trabelsi fails in court case

Hatem Trabelsi will not be allowed to walk out on Ajax for nothing in the summer after the defender lost his court case against the Amsterdam giants.
The Tunisian defender claimed he should be allowed to leave on a free transfer in the summer, but Ajax insisted they had an option in place to extend his contract until the summer of 2006.
The two sides failed to find an amicable solution, which prompted Trabelsi to launch a court case against his club.
The Dutch FA (KNV have been reviewing the case and came down in favour of Ajax - saying the contract is valid until June 30, 2006.
Trabelsi was also seeking the dissolution of the agreement, citing a 'disturbed working relationship', but the KNVB also dismissed this claim.
Neither party has yet to comment on the ruling, but it is clear that Trabelsi will not be allowed to leave on a free transfer.
A host of Premiership teams had been monitoring the situation, with the likes of Manchester United and Newcastle keen to acquire one of the world's best full backs for no fee, but they will now have to take stock of events.
It had been suggested that Magpies boss Sir Bobby Robson had held talks with Trabelsi, but any deal will now cost Newcastle a substantial portion of their transfer kitty.
Ajax coach Ronald Koeman has been unhappy with Trabelsi and it remains to be seen if the ArenA chief opts to field the Tunisian next term.
