I still agree with the fact that players and teams should honour the contract that they have penned down but sometimes things change along the line and the player might want to leave or club will want to sell a particular player. I believe that is why they have transfer windows. I just hope both player and club settles amicably.
Indeed, sometimes players face such dilemmas. Even when I am offered a contract by a big club, I will consider it from all angles. I will still respect the contract, and of course, if I am a player, I will ask nicely. The club should also not hold players back if they have benefited from them. This is the era of the football industry. So our focus must also change—it’s not just about performance, but financial aspects are also very important. The negative impact on the team will actually be more evident if the team holds onto players who want to leave. For example, performance declines, players play without concentration, and they won’t perform at their best. IMO
