What is the basis and method for determining liquidated damages for European players?

The basis and method for determining liquidated damages for European players are based on the contract signed between the player and the club.

In European football, the contract between a player and a club is a very important legal document, which stipulates in detail the rights and obligations of both parties during the cooperation period. One of the important provisions is the liquidated damages clause.

The player's liquidated damages are set to ensure that the player can fulfill his contractual obligations and the club receives reasonable compensation. According to the contract, once a player breaches the contract and leaves the club, he will need to pay a certain amount of liquidated damages to compensate the club.

The specific amount of liquidated damages is generally determined by negotiation between the player and the club. Both parties can negotiate based on factors such as the player's market value, contract period and current market conditions. Under normal circumstances, the penalty for players is very high, which is also to prevent players from leaving the club easily.

There are two main ways to determine liquidated damages: one is a fixed amount, that is, the specific amount of liquidated damages is directly agreed upon by both parties in the contract; the other is calculated according to a certain proportion, and the specific amount will be calculated based on the remaining years of the player's contract and market value and other factors.

In practice, the player's liquidated damages may be paid by other clubs, thus becoming a fee for the player's transfer. Once a club is willing to pay a player's penalty, the player can officially leave the original club and join a new club.
