Premier League Clubs Vote For Five-Year Maximum Player Contracts


Premier League clubs have voted to limit new contracts to a maximum of five years.

A Premier League statement read: "Premier League Shareholders today agreed to amend the rule on amortisation of player registration costs to bring in line with UEFA's regulations. Going forward, a five-year maximum will apply to all new or extended player contracts.

"Clubs also approved a rule amendment to enable the Premier League Board, in circumstances where a club owes a transfer debt to another Premier League or EFL Club, to stop the club registering more players until the outstanding payment has been made.

"The board can also have the option to deduct the amount from the club's entitlement to the League's central funds."

Football is going the same way as US sport. Japanese baseball star Ohtani has deferred ‘some’ of his new salary to allow his team to spend it on other players to get around Major League Baseball financing rules. He will take $2m per year until 2034, and then $68m per year until 2043. Won’t be long before that type of deal starts coming into football to get around FFP.

Tbf, his 700m contract isn't as bad as Messi's 673m contract he had at Barca.
