Can Pato buy out his contract and still move on - do the sums add up? 14:34 - Feb 1 with 846 views | ReslovenSwan1 | Pato for arguments sake is contracted for another 18 months at £7k per week (reported approx). Until June 2023. He is therefore due £546,000 for the remainder of his contract. At the end of this contract he is a league 2 level player aged 33. Just about done. WBA for argument sake, thinking he was out of contract, talked about a two year deal on (hypothetically) £12k a week to his agent. Jan 22 to Jan 24. In this contract he will be due £1.248,000. Clearly if the WBA offer is high enough Pato can approach Winter and talk about buying out his deal for £546,000. In this case he will be a free agent and sign as a free agent for WBA or QPR. He will be £702,000 better off. This falls into the realms of football employment law and EFL regulations which is complex but surely something his agent should would be exploring. Swansea could to lubricate the deal release his for less if it was in their mutual interest presumably. [Post edited 1 Feb 2022 15:44]

On reflection i meant to say I do not insult other posters. One young person called me 'vermin'. He sounds like a troubled bully type. I have to resort to gentle put downs in this case. I presume you are not a recruitment professional or legal eagle? It requires thought consideration and experience you simply do not have. A simple "No" is not good enough. | |

Can Pato buy out his contract and still move on - do the sums add up? on 15:51 - Feb 1 with 706 views | majorraglan | No, I believe this is a complete non runner and nonsensical. Based on the figures you’ve given, if he earns £12k per week in a new contract by the time tax, NI is paid he will take home £6.5k per week which is less than the £7k it will cost him to buy his contract out assuming he has to repay his wages in full. There may also be tax implications for the club re amortisation of assets etc | | | |

OK but Swansea might not ask him to repay his full salary in full and come to a compromise arrangement. With only 6 month on his deal he would only have needed £182,000. Without this option he has no choices left. | |

Fair enough, but it doesn’t make sense either. The press have speculated the Club valued Paterson at £750k, if that is the case and they want £750k why would they allow him to buy out his contract and leave for £182k to which is over half a million less. | | | |

It's the reason why the likes of Snodgrass had his contract cancelled before the window closed. | | | |

Add agency fees to that, yes a non runner. | | | |
