highly doubt that he's always been one of Zidane's favourites
Madrid need to sell players to please FFP so it's possible if Arsenal offer enough.highly doubt that he's always been one of Zidane's favourites
Van Dijk was related for other thing. Regarding this topic i will repeat; release clause doesn't mean that you can speak with the player without permission. But you believe what you want
That's the most doubtful bit, really.Madrid need to sell players to please FFP so it's possible if Arsenal offer enough.

Footballers in Spain have the same rights as all other employees by royal decree, essentially meaning that they can sod off at any time they want without consent from their club, by forking out the cash for the remaining time of their contract (wages). This is why they have release clauses put into their contracts, to ensure a fixed fee if the player wants to sod off. No consent whatsoever is needed from their current club, the player is always available. Tapping players up is a problem related to contracts where the club is under no obligation to sell the player at a fixed fee, where they actually need permission to sign the player.
If anyone struggles to understand the concept, just look at the Neymar to PSG deal. Barcelona tried everything they could in order to block it.
Got it so essentially tapping up rules don't apply when a player has a release clause. In that case I don't see how Atletico can have any case Barca well within their rights to activate when the clause is lower
10m, 1 pound, and half a Mars bar.
They'll probably offer £10M for him.
Plus in terms of attacking players they've brought in Rodrygo, Jovic and Hazard, so need to make space and with Bale looking unlikely to move, I can see this happening.Madrid need to sell players to please FFP so it's possible if Arsenal offer enough.
That's the way i understand it, and i haven't found anything to suggest my understanding is incorrect. If the club could deny permission to talk to a player over a potential move when the contract allows the player to feck off without consent of the club, then what's the point with the clause in the first place. "Aye, we're forced to sell you if you fork out the cash, but you can't do that since you can't talk to anyone else"

United rumours seem to have died down, I would have hoped they would be picking up just before tour

He wasn't at training and his last social media post was of him in New York a few hours ago. It has either been agreed he'll fly out directly to Australia to join up with the squad, or he's gone on strike.I think Pogba is due back today, maybe everyone's waiting to find out how his and Ole's meeting goes.
That's probably the reason he got an extension.I don't think Pereira is good enough. I really don't see what he offers us.

Nice, I guess. Secures us a respectable fee should he go next summer.
It hasn't quite worked out after that okay loan spell at Valencia; he started pre-season and the actual season full of beans but one bad [collective] game and he was first on the firing line for Mourinho. Hasn't really kicked back on since.
Let's see how he does this year - he's far down the pecking order, but we're hardly stacked in midfield. Now or never type thing.
It allows the player to 'feck off without consent' when such club pays the 118m or whatever, up front, with no installments etc
The clause is a legal requirement in La Liga for every player.
More players should enforce having buyout clauses in my opinion.
Not gonna happen. We extended his contract so he could get his 10 games in EL. Clubs who know what they are doing when it comes to selling average players like Chelsea would have probably sold him to Valencia after his successful loan spell, with a buy back clause of course. But we are not that.I hope we renewed this so we get more for him when selling him on. Not good enough at all for the team.
Last time i checked it's not a legal requirement, but most players have it as a result of spanish employment laws. If the club could block the player from having talks with potential clubs, it would render the clause a bit pointless.
I cant see Pogba going on strike.He wasn't at training and his last social media post was of him in New York a few hours ago. It has either been agreed he'll fly out directly to Australia to join up with the squad, or he's gone on strike.

There were murmurings a few days ago, I dunno. Might have been decided that there was no point in him flying thousands of miles from New York to Manchester, only for him to fly thousands of miles to Australia a few days later.If he was on strike you'd think there would be a fair bit about it in the media, it's definitely odd he hasn't joined up with the rest of the squad yet though.
Nice to see Pereira has an account here. I wonder how many other players post on this particular forum.Absolutely delighted with Andreas Pereira signing a new contract. Mentioned this on his personal thread before the guy was our best player in pre season last year and was cruelly dumped by Jose into the reservers. I remember when we played Leicster in the first game of the season Jose described him as phenomenal.
Then the very next game he dragged him off at half time when the whole team was playing poor and we didnt see him again for 6 months until we got battered in Valencia I believe.
This guy has ALL the tools needed to develop here into a fantastic player for us. Just hope Ole can put his arm around the lad and get his confidence up.
I know we all want lots of signings but keeping some players like him the squad is perfect for us.
Before we extend a contract we should ask ourselves "if he was at another club would we be looking at buying him?". I would say no in this case but I might be wrong.Meh,I guess.
Done reasonably ok since Solskjaers' been here.
Cannot keep on blaming the managers. Same thing happened under van gaal, then under Jose too and now under OLE. Surely all managers won't say hey I want Jones and Rojo, or hey please do not sell Darmian. It has gone beyond manager now and Woodward is the guy who needs to take the blame now. He has not been able to do a complete clear out like what City did for Pep in 2017. Infact Woodward is just doing opposite of it and just keeping these options and avoiding to sign new players.How much dross has Solskjaer stood next to handing new contracts ? End of last season he informs us some players will not be here next season. Yet all of the worst performers are being granted extensions. Nothing but a yes man in charge.
