  "summary": "KL City has clarified that their FIFA transfer ban is due to an unpaid interest claim of RM10,404.70 owed to former import Patrick Reichelt, rather than unpaid wages. The club had already paid Reichelt's principal salary arrears of RM101,640 in August and will settle the interest penalty in early November to lift the registration embargo. The club was previously fined RM50,000 by the Malaysian Football League for fielding an under-strength team during their Super League opener against Negri Sembilan.",
