According to the law, Spanish football clubs must have inserted clauses in the contracts of their players – and this includes Barcelona and Real Madrid. However, these clubs look at it to make this work by determining the maximum figure that can be set: € 1 billion.
The will of Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbappe, Lamine Yamal and Gavi have set release clauses at € 1 billion, but according to the football player in Spain (AFE) this is offensive. According to Diario As, María José López, co-director of the legal advice of the AFE, has explained their position on this issue.
“The fact that a player wanted to change jobs was not if possible if he did not receive a letter of freedom. In 1985, with RDL 1006, some of athletes's rights were recognized. Article 16 regulates the possibility that this contract can be broken unilaterally. If it is not paid, the player must pay a clause. But we see a number of exorbitant amounts. We have seen a number of € 1 million to € 25 million to players with a salary of € 1K per month. Their right to change jobs is limited. If you charge € 1K and you have to pay € 25 million for the breaking of the contract, this almost means a right to retention.
“It is one thing to protect the clubs and another to protect abuse. It is not possible that a player is not free to go to another club. These clauses must be modulated and moderated because of the abuse it can entail. Clauses are set up to keep them, both boys and girls. In the third division I have seen contracts of € 1k euros and clauses of € 25 million. If another club wants to pay him a month of € 2.5 KA, they cannot sign it. It is an offensive practice that everyone signs up for. “
He also confirmed that there are plans to tackle the situation, where a petition was sent to the court.
“We are going to fight to make it moderated. The employee has the right to terminate that contract and that it is without insulting clauses. We have stated in the congress that this type of clause must be modulated and regulated. They have taken and understood. The clauses of billion dollars can be maintained or usually corrected. We will have to enter into a rationality. Those who really worry are those of a million with salaries of € 600 per month. If you are going to limit the activity of that person as an employee, something will have to be said. Those who shine in this sport are the workers. Football is important, but that also applies to the rights of the players. '
