There was a rumour that he could buy himself out of his contract on the 25th August 2025.
However, because he joined after the 2022/23 season started (by 3 games).
This doesn't count towards a "full season".
Therefore the earliest it can be invoked is 1st June 2026, not 25th August 2025 (sadly... I should have checked earlier).
As for the fee, the player and new club will become liable for remaining unamortised amount on the balance sheet of Newcastle + Wages (weirdly).
Therefore, if this is true (and i suspect this is the game we are playing in regards to £110m bids). His value would be around £40m next summer.
seems like nobody has done that yet and are scared to be the first/don’t want to wreck the football gravy train for everyoneWhat's the bloody point of buying someone for more than a hundred million if he can easily buy out his contract after 3 years?
Am I missing something here.
It's more of a be careful what you wish for moment for us when we have just made so many big money purchases.seems like nobody has done that yet and are scared to be the first/don’t want to wreck the football gravy train for everyone
Yes Heinze.Didn't some Utd player (German I think) try to buy out his contract to come join us, back in the day? Fergie blocked it & they found a clause in the legislation that meant it couldn't be enacted and he ended up moving abroad instead.
I have a vague memory of this from years ago, but it might have been a dream last night
That's the one. Name sounds German at leastArgentine, and it was Heinze.
If this is true that Isak has caused dressing chaos, then selling him would potentially help ease the mood in the camp

There are 47 varieties of those roots I believe...His dad's family roots were German.
Brentford are crazy to reject that. They must sense Newcastle are very desperateBrentford have rejected the £40m for Wissa. That's crazy money for what's basically a journeyman striker who'll be 29 in a couple of weeks, has one year left on his deal, and will be going to Afcon in December.
Spurs are in for Wissa now, so might be another rejection for Newcastle.Brentford are crazy to reject that. They must sense Newcastle are very desperate

The striker market this summer is a indictment of the state of world football talent.

Which is pretty weird when you consider there are more people playing it than ever.
