Joao Cancelo

That rule is very theoretical and no player has ever terminated his contract on that rule.
Schweinsteiger was close for rags back then before joining Chicago.

Danilo e.g. had >36% of minutes played last season. The rule would require under 10% (of the period he was fit to play!).

No established City player had <20% of minutes last season, Foden and Delph having least.
And "established" means being at least as talented or better than the players who did play regularly.

Mainly this rule exists for players who feel they didn't play enough for personal reasons between player and club/coach.
Terminating the contract has a risk of compensations or bans as well if found not for 'sporting just cause'.

Sorry for being off topic.

I said as much in my original post this was replying to a post that didn’t believe the clause existed

Alves on a free and money in the bank for a CB

We should offer him a mega 5 year deal with all the trimmings. Sit him next to Txiki in front of the camera's with the pen ready then turn to him & say "Ah no thanks Dani - do one"

In reality this would be Danilo out for Alves in - that is a backward step.

This only happens if we get a good offer for him (Danilo) and agree that he can leave as he is not getting the game time - and then we cant get a better RB in. Alves is the back up option at this point, the go to if all other options fail but Danilo has gone.

Even if he could we should not take him. He can fuck off as a result of how he behaved 2 years ago.

Alves is a short term signing. It Looks like we’re not going to be big spenders this summer therefore if Danilo wants out we should have the funds to replace him with the very best available whilst there’s no desperation and won’t get fleeced on price.

Alves would need replacing in two seasons maximum and with Walker getting on the older side too by then there’s going to be a big need to freshen it up in that position and we will have to pay through the roof to do so.
