No clause does not mean he could leave for free.

De Bruyne has no transfer clause set in his contract, can he leave for free? no...

This is confusing to me as well.

Like the scum:)

Worse... with the recent Goldman Sachs loan they are literally €1.5 billion in debt.

Think Pep will have him on a private plane mid week

De Bruyne hasn’t got a clause saying he can leave for free at the end of the season though. Think the crucial issue is does it it say end of season or does it have a date in the contract. Sounds like it’s the former.

This is confusing to me as well.

In Spain, unlike England, if there is no buy out figure specified in a contract, the player can terminate his contract and a judge will decide his value.

In England, no such rule.

 

[not my fault!]

No but the fact his contract says he can walk away with a year to go for free does mean he can.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

The reports of the £700m release clause not applying are being leaked by the Barcelona executive.

Clearly a precursor to a negotiation. Messi would jump on the plane tonight if he could.

 

[Damanino]

Sorry I meant the transfer fee clause of 700m.

If that is not valid anymore it does not mean he is free to leave.

The other clause of him having the chance to walk for free expired in June based on previous info. Do we know for a fact it did not expire in June?

I think the Spanish legal system is a bit different to ours on this though?

I thought the reason there is always a release clause in their contracts was because by law, it has to be noted how much it would cost to buy the contract out.

If no release clause is explicitly stated in the contract, then the cost to buy it out is zero.

I may be wrong on that, but it’s my interpretation. Maybe @FCBarca could elaborate?

Seen Alfie Boe in Les Mis twice... simply stunning...
