The Supreme Court dismissed the football player's cassation appeal against the lower courts' rejection of his damages claim. The player argued that the club's authorization to handle transfers created a mandate contract under Civil Code provisions, yet the courts found no specific obligation for the club to secure a new contract. The court ruled that mere authorization without a binding duty to perform legal acts does not constitute a mandate contract, thus rejecting the player's request for compensation.
