    This is a massive change. Players will just be able to leave and the "old" club will not be able to withhold the transfer of registration rights. Old club left just suing player for breach. Loss will be small and normal employment law rights make restraints unenforceable.
    This is very, very significant.

      Not accurate. If a player unilaterally terminates the contract - per your explanation - the ‘ex-club’ can still demand a transfer fee from the prospective new employer club. This new court rule applies in situations where the ‘ex-club’ terminated the contract AND still sought to enforce financial compensation from the player. The court said that situation is unfair and it makes sense. Generally when the contract is terminated mutually, the player leaves on a free transfer. In Diarra’s case, he did not want to take a pay cut, was banished from the squad AND his club terminated his contract AND prevented him from working elsewhere. That is a unique situation where a club weaponized the player registration certificate rule to essentially end Diarra’s career. The irony and question is what compensation does Diarra get from Locomotive Moscow?

      @@gorbachevojiwa2896 Exactly. But that’s the current situation. If a club sacks a player who has a contract, the club still has to pay the player the remaining amount due under the contract. In this situation, Locomotive sacked the player AND still wanted to effectively collect a transfer fee from an out of contract player 😂 .. a clear violation of the Bosman rule which prevents clubs from demanding transfer fees for out of contract players

      If that were the case, then all these high transfer fees for players into the tens of millions would have to drop down to hundreds of thousands instead. No club is going to pay £100m for a player, if they can just leave for another club any time, without the club controlling the transfer fee.

    I can see most clubs adopting something similar to what we have in Spain with the 'release clauses', which is a buyout fee the players need to pay to terminate their contracts before its expiring date - usually, to move to another club. The player and the club agree to a fixed fee that becomes a part of the contract, just like any other clause, and it prevents all these situations where a court has to rule what's the fair compensation for the club if the player wants to terminate their contract early. Sure, there have been some litigations still, basically when the fee is deemed excessive considering the player's salary (as in he wouldn't be able to buy his contract out just by using his wages), but the system has been working reasonably well for decades. If a player under contract receives an offer from another club he wants to join, this potential new club is usually paying this fee for him as in any other transfer. This also solves some eternal transfer sagas as it sets a fixed price: just show the pre-agreed buyout money and the player will be yours no matter what his current club wishes, says, or does.
    In Lass' case, by having a buyout clause everyone would have known in advance the only fee he needed to pay to get himself out of his contract (i.e. the club wouldn't have been able to terminate his contract and then ask for a random 20M compensation fee that, later, a Russian court reduced to 10M), so he could have just paid it or looked for a club actually willing to pay it, and that would have been all. Under his actual situation, Charleroi simply said they weren't behind the fallout between Lass and Lokomotiv because it was an internal conflict that took place before their interest in the player, so they shouldn't be held responsible to pay the compensation now that he's supposedly free - which is kind of logical too in this precise case and that's why the EU Court overturns that rule in FIFA's transfer code.
    So, as I said, I can see clubs wanting to protect themselves by including a buyout clause in all of their contracts, to make sure every player wanting to leave early knows in advance the legal conditions of this contract termination. This guarantees the club will receive that compensation either way -directly from the player or from his potential new club. Then it's the players' turn to negotiate rational buyout fees that would be affordable to pay in case things go really south with their clubs.

    Players are not normal employees, pretending like they are is going to damage the sport of football. Clubs need to have security in knowing what players they will have available to them for the season, what takes 5 years to build can be destroyed overnight if you allow players to leave whenever they want, what's the point as a fan to even invest in your club when everything is so volatile? What's to stop Real Madrid tapping up whatever player they want regardless of the length of their contract? If all they have to do is pay the players fine then why wouldn't they just do that?
