700 million Messi placed under house arrest in Barcelona
The "penalty clause" imprisoned the players ... one billion euros to free Benzema
The penalty clause in Karim Benzema's contract makes his transfer at any time to any other club a fantasy.
A.F.B.
Penal conditions are related to Spanish football players ’contracts without others in the old continent, so that Barcelona and Real Madrid fortify their players with an incapacitating number to avoid the ambitions of other clubs wishing to obtain them, and to counter the attempt to break the stars, after these conditions have become a prison for some players, including Argentine star Lionel Messi, who was placed under house arrest from the administration of the Catalan club headed by Josep Bartomeu.
The public may think that the penalty clause in Messi's contract (700 million euros) is considered the largest in the world, but the truth is that "the flea" is not among the top three in the list of players fortified by their clubs with incapacitating numbers that delay their departure until the end of the period of their contracts, as the club striker leads Royal, French Karim Benzema, the list with a penalty clause of one billion euros, according to OPTA, a global football statistics site, followed by his fellow countryman, who moved last season from Atletico Madrid to Barcelona, Antoine Griezmann (800 million euros), then the Croatian playmaker Luka Modric (750 million euros). Million).
Real Madrid trio Vinicius Junior, Isco and Marco Asensio share with Messi the penalty clause in the amount of 700 million, who played a fundamental role in braking Lionel’s drive towards the decision to leave his home, where he lived the most beautiful times, achievements and the joy of football.
The Spanish media, including "S" and "Marca", touched upon the interpretation of the penalty clause for a contract for any player in Spain, and said that it has a direct link with the tax law in force since 1985, meaning that Messi, who sought hard to leave the Catalan club, complied with the de facto condition imposed by the condition. The massive penalty, and collided with two paths in which there are many thorns, the first: the payment of the value of the incapacitating penalty clause, in addition to an 18% tax collected by the Spanish Professional League, which is considered a kind of imagination compared to the huge amount.
As for the second way, it is based on activating the departure clause in a predetermined period of time, and then the player has the right to move according to the value specified in the contract, and this type is not common except with star players, but his problem remains in the player’s inability to prove when the departure clause will be activated, and the court ruling may be lengthy. In it, especially in the current circumstance in which the season was extended to August instead of last June due to the outbreak of the Corona virus.
