Robert Lewandowski is covered by FIFA to force him to leave Bayern Munichwithout just cause. This is how he picks it up Status and Transfer Regulations of Players. In particular, to her article 17 where he discusses the consequences in case it breaks without just cause. How the Polish international case will break an agreement that will last until June 30, 2023 including Bayern Munich.
In it, it clarified that “in all cases, the party terminating the contract is obliged to pay compensation” and that this “will be calculated taking into account national law, the characteristics of the sport and other objective criteria. These criteria must include, in particular, the compensation and other benefits owed to the player under the current contract or the new contract, the remaining contractual time, up to a maximum of five years, the fees and expenses paid of the previous club (amortized over the period of validity of the contract), as well as the question of whether the termination of the contract occurs in a protected period “.
Considering all of the above, the regulations themselves present two scenarios for calculating this compensation. The first, in case the player does not sign a new contract after the termination of his previous contract, as a general rule, “the compensation will be equal to the remaining amount of the contract terminated prematurely.” Second, in case the player signs a new contract before the decision, something does not happen, “the value of the new contract in the period corresponding to the remaining time of the early terminated contract will be deducted from the remaining value of the contract. ended early.
The key is in the protected period
But the key to it all lies in exactly what FIFA considers a protected era. This, according to the regulations, includes the first three years of the contract, when the football player signed it when he was under 28 years old, or just two years, when he signed it when he was 28 years old or older. .
We need to start with Lewandowski is 33 years old and his last renewal at Bayern Munich It was in August 2019, when he was 31 years old. The renewal for which the contract first ended in the summer of 2021 has been extended to the current date of June 2023.
Then it seemed clear that the Polish were no longer within this protected period. And in those cases the FIFA, when the player breaks the contract without just cause, does not think of sporting penalties. Only when “if the termination is not notified sufficiently in advance within fifteen days after the last official match of the season (including national cups) at the club where the player is registered.”
Although the regulations themselves state that the “protected period will start again when, upon renewal of the contract, the duration of the previous contract is extended”, it also does not affect the Polish striker. Being over 28 years old, it only covers two years, i.e., this new phase ended on June 30 of last year. So, in extreme cases, Lewandowski is in a position to force his way out of Bayern Munichthe Teutonic club is required to pay only according to the criteria explained above.
