There isn’t a resale value considered in any contract.
Agree a 5 year contract with a player and that player parts company after 5 years with no resale fee involved whatsoever.
To get a ‘resale fee’ you and the player need to agree to sell the player before the term of the contract is complete or you and the player need to agree a new contract, to extend the original contract, and then agree to sell the player within the period of that extension.
I take resale to mean potentially selling the player in the future, not them running their contract down.
A player is an asset and will have a market value throughtheir contract.
If Haaland or Kane both signed a 5 year deal at City and wanted to leave after 3 seasons, Haaland would probably command the bigger fee due to his age and future potential.
I assume that’s the argument a lot of people are making as well. Hence, Kane’s age being brought up in the same argument.
