Hes out of contract in the Summer. He's 19 and a product of their Academy so a tribunal will set the fee.
Sounds like the club have given permission for him to talk with other clubs with the caveat of Wigan and purchasing club agreeing a fee. By allowing the agent to do it, they could just be using him to whip up interest for them.
Would imagine they would instruct a football consult or some such for a ridiculous amount of money. The whole insolvency system is a bit unsavoury: lots of vultures with their beaks around the carcass...
If that’s right, it’s hardly surprising footballers go off the rails, when they go from £600 to £4000 a week.
Would it still go to a tribunal if he moved to a Scottish club or to Europe when his contract finishes ?
I'm not sure on that one. I think it still goes to a tribunal, but they can do the deal now for him to sign in the Summer whereas domestically you can't get him on a pre-contract agreement.
Europe as in Oostende, then loaned out to their sister club in Yorkshire, England? Now that would be funny on the delusional Wigan fans.
It’s in FIFA rules so would suggest it is. Seem to vaguely recall was also a case where a player transferred from France to Newcastle
Looking at number 3, according to the Daily Mail we will miss out on him to Newcastle...... https://www.lutontoday.co.uk/sport/...orwich-city-swoop-for-starlet-striker-3248725 Back in the day we would have looked to take him on loan but not now it wouldn't be with view to permanent.
