A revolution is coming - Pogba could leave for 50-60 million?

"L'Ekip" writes that according to Article 17 of FIFA's Transfer Regulations, players can leave the club three years after signing the last contract, upon payment of compensation. And that the club they play for doesn't ask anything!

The regulations of umbrella sports organizations are so extensive that almost no one reads them to the end.

But when you "scratch" under the surface, you can discover very interesting things, which is what "L'Ekip" did this time.

A reputable French sports newspaper wrote that, according to Article 17 of FIFA's Transfer Regulations, players can leave the club three years after signing the last contract, with the payment of compensation. And that the club they play for doesn't ask anything!

"L'Ekip" used Paul Pogba as an example. The French international was targeted by Real Madrid last summer, but Manchester United did not let him go.

As he signed his last contract in 2016, he will be able to ask to leave this summer, and the French newspaper writes that the compensation in that case would amount to only 50-60 million euros.

United paid Juventus 2016 million euros for him in 105, plus bonuses, and last summer it was reported that they would not sell him for less than 120 million.

Now he could be brought before the fait accompli and forced to sell it for half the money. Besides Real, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are also in the game.

The same scenario could be used by Neymar, who arrived at PSG on August 3, 2017.

This August 3, he will be able to leave, and "L'Ekip" estimates that his "freedom" would cost 180 million euros.

Admittedly, Barcelona will hardly be able to pay for it this summer, because it is in a major financial crisis...
