KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Question on transfer requests

Hi All,

I've been following the transfer gossips and am wondering,
is there any penalty or benefits to the player or team involved when a player officially submits a transfer request?

I'm asking as it seems like clubs are more willing to listen to offers when their player throw in a transfer request.

Could it be due to ruling, contractual benefits, team politics or...?

Cheers!

i think its just a way of the player forcing the team to sell, no one wants to keep a player who wants to leave that bad.

i suppose its just the only way they can force a move, we go for job interviews and usually have to give 1 months notice to leave, football players cant really do that so its kind of a way of resigning i suppose.

Dont really like the way transferes seem to work out these daus. think theres far too much going on behind the scenes with tapping up and agents etc

i think in some players contracts they have a royalty bonus and if they hand in a transfer request they 4fit that bonus. am guessing in some cases that bonus could be up to a million or two. so therefore the selling club make more money if the player hands in a transfer request

Yeah i've heard in the past of it being known that a player wanted a move to another club, but his own club were sitting tight and waiting for him to make an official transfer request before entering negotiations, because of a clause in his contract, where doing this would forfeit a pay off.
