In July 2017, Wemmer terminated his contract with Panathinaikos and returned to Germany. He filed an appeal with the Financial Dispute Resolution Committee for €500,000. His manager also appealed to the committee, demanding that he be paid €15,000 for his commission. On 28 September 2017, the committee of the Greek Football Federation's financial disputes gave the football player the amount of €498,000 plus the legal interest. On 19 March 2018, Hellenic Football Federation announced the deduction of three points from Panathinaikos for the delay in repayment of Wemmer, a penalty that would be triggered in a new court, as in the ruling it was clarified that "the immediate application of the decision is rejected". Eventually on 20 April 2018, Panathinaikos faced a three points deduction, as the debt to Wemmer had not be settled within the specified period. The administration of the club was unable to reach an agreement with him and the points' deduction was confirmed.
