Saul Niguez

Saul Niguez has an unusual clause in his contract. It certainly is one of the more interesting player contracts to have been drawn up. Football Leaks has revealed that part of his rights have been sold to an investment fund.

Atletico sold 40% of his rights for around €1.5 million to an investment fund called Quality Football Ireland. The amount will be paid to the organization if Saul is sold to another club,if he renews his contract or even if it expires. Certainly a bizarre deal but the company will not have any say in transfer matters over the player.
