Original Title: Jake Cohen(sports lawyer) “A player we dealt with this summer had a contract that said they could leave for a set fee, paid in one instalment. A club offered that fee but the wording of the clause said the seller was obligated to do the deal only after 30 days. The prospective buyer moved on.”
“30 days is a lifetime in a transfer window. The period of time might have been inserted to allow his club to find a replacement, or in the hope that the buying club might offer more money to get the deal done sooner.”
