Basically, a contract can be longer than 5 years, but the amortisation will only be applied to the first 5 years.
Example: if this was applied to Mudryk's transfer, then given the €100m total fee, the amortisation will be €20m/year instead of ~€11.76m/year
Other clubs raised concerns over Chelsea's transfer activity.
This new policy will be established before the 2023 summer transfer window.
Reminder: FIFA restricts contract lengths to a max. of 5 years except if a country's laws allow for longer contracts
England has no contract length restrictions.
Existing players with contracts longer than 5 years will not be affected by this ruling.
Only players acquired from summer 2023 onwards will be affected.
OK guys and girls fasten your seatbelts because we gotta finish some businesses this january before the new rules get established in the summer 😎
Maybe this is the reason Gusto & Enzo (sounds like a fecking cartoon lol) rumours kicked off today?
And to UEFA and everyone else…. 🖕
