LaLiga: Abolished the 'clause Rivaldo' for to the next season

This next season 2021-22 incorporates an important novelty that will affect to the clubs of the professional football. Said change, to the cual had access the newspaper 'Sport', is included in the new regulation that finish to approve the Spanish Federation and that it has to see with the possibility to incorporate players out of the windows of signings.

The new rule affects so much to the current market veraniego until 31 August and the next in 2022 during the month of January. Well, it treats of the abolition of the known as 'clause Rivaldo' of face to the next season of LaLiga 2021-22.

This option has his origin in the become in the year 1997 when the FC Barcelona paid the clause of Rivaldo to the Sportive of the Coruña, leaving of this form without margin any to the Galician picture to be able to have opportunity to achieve a suitable replacement for his maximum star.

Therefore, to avoid these problems, LaLiga decided to include in a circulate an exception so that, if a team went back to suffer a similar situation, had margin of manoeuvre. Said circulate was admitted by the RFEF. Textualmente Establishes that "if in the fifteen natural days previous to the date of ending of any of the periods of registration, a player terminated of unilateral way the valid labour agreement with his team protecting in the Royal decree 1006/1985, the entity in which this was inscribed, will have of an exceptional term of 30 days to explain from which produce the rescission to be able to inscribe to a new player".

This exception disappears in the articulated of the General Regulation that the RFEF finish to make public and that is in force from the past 1 July. Said change finds specifically in the article 124 relative to the periods of application of licences. In the same and inside the point one, the rule leaves clear that out of the two previously mentioned windows "will not be able to authorise the registration of any player, save in the excepcionalidades of the sections 2 and 3 of the present article. Neither it will be able to authorise the registration out of said periods in exceptional suppositions of registration like consequence of the payment of a clause of rescission.".

Transcendental change

Of this way has remained clear in this second part that disappears this margin of manoeuvre that enjoyed exclusively the Spanish clubs. Only it will be able to inscribe out of the term established of the market to a player that find of unemployment, and whenever the club have any of the 25 licences to do it.

This change produces grieve a year after deleting also by part of the RFEF the exception that allowed fichar to the clubs out of these periods when had an injury of a player that surpassed the five months and half. This was another of the grantings that only existed in Spain and that decided to cancel owing to the controversy arisen by injury of long length of Ousmane Dembele that allowed to the Barcelona fichar to Martin Braithwaite out of the market of signings of winter of the recently initiated year 2020.
