How the clauses that shake the transfer market work. The cases of Dumfries, Kean and Osimhen: expiry date and value, in what case you can get to the farewell
The beginning of the month of July is the time for termination clausesan institution increasingly widespread in the international transfer market. Agreements that they allow a player to leave his club by guaranteeing the payment of an previously agreed figure: usually in a single tranche, without discounts or dilations, and with a temporal limit that does not force a company to have to greet one of the team’s pins without having time to intervene on the market to replace it.
There are championships where they are mandatory (Spanish Liga) and others where they have gradually become increasingly widespread. Often they are the world with which a club manages to obtain the contract renewal of a top player, saving some money, lengthening the expiry date but delivering to the same and the entourage that represents the control of the situation. At other times, however, the termination clause represents a factor that dissuades any buyers because it fixes a very high stake and forces you to go out into the open without being able to treat: take (to that figure) or leave.
Dumfries and Inter, how the termination clause works
The first market case is that of the Dutch outside of Inter, Denzel Dumfries. At the time of the signing of the extension of the contract, which was dangerously approaching the expiration date, the player’s agents made an interpretative clause with the relatively low value inserted. Take Dumfries Costa 25 million euros cash, to be paid in a single solution.
Dumfries’ clause is active from 1 to 15 July of each summer transfer market session And it is intended only for foreign clubs. No Italian company can activate it. In the case of Dumfries, whose performance in the last season and with the Holland shirt have consecrated him among the best exteriors on the international scene, the price is certainly low and can attract several companies: Barcelona and Manchester City in the front row.
Kean and Fiorentina, how the blue clause works
A unilateral possibility of leaving if it also reserved it Moise Keanstriker that Fiorentina purchased in the summer of 2024 from Juventus by paying a total of 18 million euros. Kean exploded in purple jersey, also recovering a place in the Spalletti national team (and then of Gattuso who does not want to give up his goals and physicality). That’s why there is a throat, even outside the Serie A.
Kean’s clause has a value of 52 million eurosto be paid in a single tranche. Those who want to exercise it, finding an agreement with the footballer and his entourage, must do it In the first two weeks of July Because then he will have to go from a very difficult negotiation with Fiorentina.
Who likes? He has a large market in Saudi Arabia where he ended up in the sights of the Al-Qadsiah who is carrying out an aggressive strategy to fit into the elite of Saudi football. Solution that does not seem to be enthusiastic Kean, in the season that leads to the United States World Championship, also because it could also have chance with Manchester United (has already played in the Premier League) or be a solution for Inter in the event Marcus Thuram.
The French striker also has a clause but is very high (85 million euros) and it is difficult to imagine that someone wants to cover it at the end of a year in which the performance of the lautaro martinez departmentmate was bad in the second part.
How much it is worth and when Osimhen’s clause expires
Third story is that of Victor Osimhenback from a championship on loan with the Galatasaray shirt despite being owned by Napoli. A year ago the Neapolitans were unable to sell it, having to satisfy the loan in Turkey in the last days of the market to avoid at least having to pay a contract of over 10 million euros net per season torn to prevent it from going on zero parameter.
Osimhen’s clause is worth 75 million euros and can only be exercised by foreign clubs. It opens in a window from 1 to 15 July, then it will be necessary to deal with Napoli and it is not said to be a good news for Aurelio De Laurentiis and Pere his market men. It is in the Juventus short list if the Vlahovic node should be dissolved: difficult in a short time. He said no to the very rich offer of the AL HILAL by Simone Inzaghi and does not seem oriented even to stay at Galatasaray who would cover him with gold with a maxi salary.
