40 million new invoices for 1 year? ESPN: Leonardo is not registered by New Moon, seeking legitimate reasons to terminate the contract

According to ESPN Brazilian version, Brazilian striker Leonardo was close to joining São Paulo on loan, but Xinyue did not agree to free loan, so the transfer failed. The players’ team is now exploring the possibility of termination from the new moon for “just reason.”

Report everywhere, Leonardo's team believes that the termination of the contract has a legal basis: if a player fails to register for the local league, he has the right to file a lawsuit against the club to restore his freedom, because "this is equivalent to depriving him of his right to perform his core duties as a professional player." The player team is currently advancing related matters, and Leonardo is still training with the team normally.

If Leonardo eventually succeeds in termination of the contract with New Moon, he will be free, sign with any team, and even be eligible to register for a domestic Brazilian club. This is because once the contract is terminated on "legitimate reasons", according to FIFA regulations, players can complete registration with their Football Association after the transfer window is closed, which is different from the situation of "negotiated termination between the two parties".

In addition, if Leonardo successfully leaves the team for "legitimate reasons", he will also be entitled to almost all the remaining part of the contract when he signed with New Moon last year, that is, the salary for the remaining four seasons, totaling about 20 million euros, with an average of 5 million euros per season.

It is worth mentioning that Leonardo was signed by Riyadh Crescent last year, when the Crescent spent 40 million euros. The players have made 43 appearances on behalf of the team so far, contributing 29 goals and 4 assists.
