The loan could have a huge fee attached. He's also apparently the third highest paid player at Barca.

Yeah then I can see that being a potential problem also, I'm admittedly always more hopeful that the selling club is willing to grease the wheels by covering certain aspects if they are the ones who came to us. I'd also imagine we must have been reasonably okay with the fee otherwise I don't think the news would have got this far but that's just opinion and there's no evidence of that.

So in terms of your original question, you're right I should consider that as one of the problems besides what I mentioned.

Di Marzio:

The transfer window closes on August 8th in England, so the coming hours will be exciting for the Premier League fans. For Paulo Dybala as well, as he's in contacts with Tottenham after the Spurs have found an agreement with Juventus. An important matter that has to be solved quickly is related to the player's image rights, a matter that had already been in the air during the negotiations with United.

The company which owns Dybala's image rights has advised Tottenham (there have been contacts yesterday) that they couldn't close a deal without Juventus involved in the process, or rather that they couldn't get Paulo's image rights without them. Should Tottenham find an agreement on salary and commissions with Dybala's agent, they still should have to find another agreement with this company (image star) that belongs to his former agent, Pierpaolo Triulzi.
Levy trying to work out how to do a deal for Dybala's image rights while simultaneously negotiating 5 other transfers:

Surely if you believe Juve want him out then the image right agreement with them wouldnt be a problem

Let's not jump to conclusions. If we're in "fee accepted" territory then there's a good chance that negotiations with Image Star are also progressing.

It is very common for contracts to have arbitration clauses which commit parties to arbitration rather than court proceedings for any number of reasons (cost, convenience time) but especially confidentiality. It is absolutely believable that any dispute would be before an arbitral body.

I'm not an IP lawyer but the suggestion that English law hinders you in terms of monetising your image doesn't ring true.

Passing off is a common law remedy and I very much doubt that there is such a thing as a "standard EPL contract". Put simply, if I start slapping Dybala's face on a bunch of lunch boxes and flogging them, I would get sued one way or another.


Here’s a link to the Standard Premier League contract that you very much doubt exists.

Clearly contract terms can vary but this sets out the usual expectation.

Signing Dybala (Argie) and Coutinho (Brazilian) doesn't make as much sense as signing Dybala (Argie) and Lo Celso (Argie).

Ozzie and Ricky reincarnate.

Least we tried though!
I’ll be honest, comments like these aren’t even fucking funny anymore. It’s genuine that we are fucking trying. Would you rather us not and then moan that we didn’t get anyone in?

This is obviously a very complex deal because of the image rights but to be a big club we have to try.

Sorry if I’m just picking on you and your post, but it’s just getting tedious now.
