It makes sense though. I think it is reasonable to give the choice of signing an extension with improved terms or make a move for a decent fee. You can even include a buyout clause.
Sending a player on a first team contract to the reserves for a prolonged period without a disciplinary issue or poor performances is fairly rare for a good reason.
They would be completely insane to do so.
But is doing that illegal or not? If it was then there wouldn’t have been such threats which we see commonly during transfer windows
Why, if they’re not getting anything for him? Respect goes both ways. He could respect the investment they made developing him.
Not an expert, I don't know. People talked about breach of contract in this context in the past, but might be nonsense.
I can’t see how it would be illegal. They’re still paying his wages. I doubt there’s anything in his contract stating he can only play in 1st team.
Getting rid of one of your best players for petty reasons is a dumb idea. It completely burns the bridges with Yoro and both current and future youth prospects and current first teamers are going to be massively pissed about it and take it into account when their time for renewal/signing comes.
Yes, my point is he was desperate to stay at Real, and was convinced from his club to take the highest offer to a destination he was never considering. Which is essentially the same thing
£50m+ is hardly petty.
Reminds me of a Viv Anderson, even has the same tash.
you paid X amount for an 18 year old"They're not getting it in the reserves scenario either. Most likely thing to happen is a short extension with a release clause inserted and if he absolutely didn't want to come to United, I would expect that this would also be the result here.
Trying to bully Yoro wouldn't improve that situation one bit though. Tapping up players like that is unsustainable and is supposed to be massively illegal. Making a fuss to UEFA/FIFA would be a much better solution for them than burning bridges with their players.
Anyone else concerned Yoro won't concentrate much on the pitch because he'll be constantly looking for the stadium exit?

Lorry
I still remember the time they tried to edit a stadium photo on a US pre season tour to make it look like more people were wearing Real kits than United kits
Yory, Zirky, Matty?
Surely there needs to be a room somewhere there dedicated to keeping his family hostage.
Yes, I'm biting my nails! I wouldn't put it past Real Madrid to try and scupper the transfer at the last minute. Confirmation can't come soon enough.
I don't really agree, my instinct is to side with the players not the clubs. I get that this gets complicated by the fact I'm then in effect siding with the big clubs over the smaller ones but ultimately if you don't want to risk losing your players for free you need to be willing to offer them attractive enough terms for them to commit to long term deals. Clubs don't want to do that, cause young players don't always come good and you don't want to be paying a dud a sizeable chunk of your wage budget for 5 years or so. That's their decision not to take such risks, it shouldn't then be up to the player to offer a loyalty that goes beyond the terms the club is willing to compensate them for.
