Sunderland launch £20m legal action against their lawyers in Ricky Alvarez case
Sunderland have launched a £20m court action against a leading law firm in the latest chapter of the legal saga stemming from the signing of flop Ricky Alvarez in 2014. The Black Cats were forced to pay Alvarez's former club Inter Milan £8.8m plus costs, and pay the player almost £5m in wages, following a hearing in front of football's world governing body FIFA.
