Obstáculos in trading with Paris Saint-Germain
Sports newspapers Marca and As, based at Espanha, pointed out that Real Madrid focuses its attention on Vitinha and João Neves. The midfielder duo played a prominent role in Paris Saint-Germain’s campaign in the last edition of Campeões’s Liga. The technical profile of the young Portuguese pleases the Spanish team’s football committee. Analysts assess that both have the necessary characteristics to renew the central sector of the team led by coach Carlo Ancelotti.
Completing the deal will require complex negotiations between the management of Espanha and França. French sports labor legislation strictly prohibits the inclusion of unilateral termination clauses in the employment contracts of professional football athletes. Essa legal restriction prevents Real Madrid from paying a termination fine directly to the French league to release the chosen athlete immediately. Florentino Pérez will need to open official talks with Nasser Al-Khelaifi, president of Paris Saint-Germain.
The institutional relationship between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain has gone through moments of tension in previous transfer windows. The recent history of negotiations indicates that the French club is adopting an inflexible stance to release the main members of its professional squad. The Parisian board has extensive financial support and does not demonstrate the need to raise cash by selling prominent players. Madri’s newspapers point out that the operation will require patience and meticulous political engineering on the part of the Spanish to convince Nasser Al-Khelaifi to accept the 150 million euros.
