Spoke too soon...
Only for Atletico, there's nothing there. Nothing more than what happened with Rodri, for example
Spoke too soon...
take this puta barça
this is what bothers me most....everyone is allowed to spend massive amounts of money except city and psgIt's not that Barca and Real have different rules, they always have had.
It's the way they criticise others that want to play by their rules.

Oof. Saw it coming from a mile away but funny that it's actually happened. Wonder how the Spanish FA and La Liga will rule on this. I get Atletico's stance but at the same time Barca waited to pay the clause until after the date that it dropped, so I would assume that the language in the contract would say Barca haven't done any wrong.

I guess there’s two things.... firstly, Barca’s attitude to this is light years from their childish tantrum when PSG paid the release clause for Neymar - didn’t they and the League intimate they wouldn’t accept the payment at first! More importantly it looks like Barca have been clumsy in this case. If Atletico can prove that the contract between Griezmann and Barca was struck before today - then their is an argument- which would have to be tested under Spanish law that the new contract between Barca and the player was established at a time when the buy-out clause was higher. I’m sure personal terms were agreed months ago - so it’s gonna be interesting to see how this plays out. Could be very funny.
But what about this from the FIFA Regs on transfers:It’s quite legitimate to negotiate and agree to enter into a contract at a future date, agreeing to go into contract at a future date doesn’t mean that you have entered into that contract already. You can even sign a contract that will become effective at a future date. Most contracts have a signatory date (2 of) and an effective date. I can’t see a possible reason for a Spanish court to have any concern with that aspect whatsoever.
