His advisors would surely insist that his new club protect him against any subsequent claims from City?
And its unlikely that a court would recognise the £40m as being his true value in the summer, since no club bought him for that price.
But we do have a written transfer offer of £40m confirming his value. The fact that it didn't take place makes no odds.

Concerns he's not going to turn up to the meeting at Carrington according to SSN.
What a twat.
A good lawyer would be able to cast plenty of doubt on whether the Corinthians offer was genuine or just their President posturing to the club's fans. The fact that the deal didnt go through, for whatever reason, drastically reduces its relevance for establishing his market value.

Not sure you understand the concept of what is being debated here.BillyShears said:The market value for Carlos is going to be whatever people are prepared to pay for him in January. The arbitrary figure of 50 million which we put on his head this summer based on the Torres/Carrol transfers was placed there simply because we didn't want to sell him. It was prohibitively high and City knew it.
As I said earlier - 20/25 million in January and we'll be lucky as fuck to have escaped with that and having him off the wage bill...
Time to move on from Carlos anyway... seems the only people left who care are the lawyers who will undoubtedly profit from the entire sorry episode...

And seeing that City reduced the transfer fee down to £30M,if he was going to Corinthians,then I agree with you,we may be lucky to even break even !
