The Lions’ argument would be that the termination clause technically cannot be exercised now, according to ‘As’

Spanish newspaper AS reported on Friday that Sporting will use a technicality in Boro’s contract to make demands in excess of €45m from the Spaniard’s release clause. According to that newspaper, the Lions argue that Tottenham’s proposal, despite complying with the €45m stipulated in the clause, arrived outside the legal deadline for doing the same and, based on that fact, they would demand more for Kamel’s release. – Return – Spanish law.

News “As” confirm and develop Information already posted by Record in its edition on Friday, namely the fact that in addition to the €45m (which Sporting wants in cash), the clubs are currently negotiating the transfer of a percentage of Marcus Edwards’ rights. Tottenham still controls 40% of the proceeds from the future sale of the Englishman (the remaining 10% belongs to V. Guimarães) and Sporting wants to include a new part of those rights in the Porro agreement.

As our newspaper also predicted, the fact that Tottenham “hit” the termination clause, does not in itself oblige Sporting to release Boro, since there is a specific time for this mechanism to be legally activated, and it will no longer be possible in this January window. An official case that shouldn’t lead to the deal collapsing, but could allow Sporting to boost their counterparts in Boro’s departure.
