Unless he didn’t have an agreement in January, but I really thought that was announced
Are pre-contract agreements legally binding for both parties, though? I'd have thought it was a case of "no contract, no deal", unless there were certain clauses in it.
Seems to be a very grey area. If it isn’t legally binding then what is its purpose? And if it is, for example, what happens in the event of a career threatening injury in the remaining period of time at the original club? Or a change of heart by the purchasing club with a change of manager or owner even? I guess it depends on each individual contract
Either way, the grass isn’t necessarily greener for young Garcia
