The law that could bring Lewandowski closer to FC Barcelona

Robert Lewandowski has been linked with the FC Barcelona in the last weeks. His wish is to go out of the Bayern Munich, although the Bavarian entity has begun the conversations with his agent to renew his agreement in spite of that the player would give his stage in Germany by finished. With 33 years, has valid agreement until 2023, and as they affirm from Poland, already would have an agreement with the Barça to sign by the next three seasons.

However, the germanos would not have in his plans accept any offer of purchase of the Catalans. In front of this situation, the legal part presents like an alternative that could be used by the surroundings of the attacker to solve the problems. This yes, would be a measure of last resource and that it would have to go through the courts to determine a sentence.

The footballer would have to 'tie' to the 'Law Webster', contained in the article 17 of the Regulation of the FIFA and that allows that a player can terminate of his agreement of unilateral form after they finalise the three years of the 'period of protection' from the moment in that it signed his last agreement. In the case of the '9' would be in August of 2019, date in which it agreed to link with the Bayern until 2023.

So that this law can be exerted in his whole, have to fulfil three requirements. The first would be that 'Lewa' communicate his decision to the club inside the 15 following days to the last party of the season. Afterwards, the new club (in this case the Barcelona) will have to have headquarters in a zone under the jurisdiction of another national federation and will have to pay a compensation to the ancient (Bayern) equivalent to the rest of the amount by income of the player (near of 23 million euros, since it would terminate of a complete year).

Of where it is born this law?

The 'Law Webster' arises by the Scottish player Andrew Webster, that decided to abandon the discipline of the Hearts by sportive tensions with the club. When having 29 years and be fulfilling the third year of an agreement of five, had to credit what remained him for earning in the two seasons like compensation by incumplimiento of agreement.

In those that are lower of 28, the 'protection' for the club would be during the three first years. In this case, if the player decides to abandon the entity in this lapse of time would remain inhabilitado by four months and the team allocate will not be able to fichar in the following two windows of traspasos. Arsène Wenger, historical trainer of the Arsenal, already has suffered this law with Aliaksandr Hleb and Mathieu Flamini, those who abandoned the discipline 'gunner' in 2008.
