Schalke have called for Fifa and Uefa to put a stop to Qatar's attempts at hiring players - after their prospective signing Ailton pledged his future to the Gulf state.
Qatar are looking at building a team capable of qualifying for the World Cup in 2006 and coach Phillipe Troussier has targeted a host of European-based players.
Werder Bremen star Ailton - who is moving to Schalke in the summer - has accepted Qatar's offer, although team-mate Valerien Ismael has shunned them.
However, Borussia Dortmund's Dede and his brother Leandro are considering switching allegiances - along with Bordeaux's Jean-Claude Darcheville, Yann Lachuer of Auxerre, Nantes' Stephane Ziani and Frederic Piquionne of Rennes.
The Qataris are thought to have made further offers across Europe and could end up recruiting a whole new team.
Schalke coach Jupp Heynckes is not happy that Fifa and Uefa are not moving to stop Qatar paying players to play for them.
"I lack any understanding that Fifa and Uefa are not doing anything to stop the fact that any player can put on any shirt he wants. It's only about money," he blasted.
"Things like this wouldn't have been possible in the past. This turns the concept of national teams upside down, stop this nonsense."
Schalke's general manager Rudi Assauer was not too happy with Ailton's decision to play for Qatar.
"He didn't talk about that with us, but I believe it's a question you should discuss with your new employer," said Assauer to WAZ.

Qatar has already bought several Kenyans to compete for qatar
in Track and Field. They have payed World Class bulgarian weigh lifters
and now they wanna buy them self a national football team... :fero:
I would be ok with players joining Qatar if they had any connection
to Qatar, but this is just PATHETIC!!!
