Barcelona’s tactical move and the one-way street for Nikola Mirotic

On Thursday afternoon, July 20, Barcelona pulled the trigger and announced the decision to step out of Nikola Mirotic’s contract. The €22,000,000 left to complete was a huge sum that the Spanish club didn’t want to pay given the necessity.Compliance with established financial survival plan” as specifically mentioned in the announcement.

What does that mean; Essentially, Barcelona unilaterally ended their partnership with the 32-year-old power forward after failing to reach an agreement on the amount of compensation. She even used the words in the announcement very carefully so as not to use anything against her on a legal level.

As reported by Mundo Deportivo, Nikola Mirotic now has 20 days to denounce Barcelona’s move, citing an ‘unfair dismissal’. Thus, the last phase of the divorce of the two parties is carried out in court.

At the core, of course, nothing changes: Nikola Mirotic is free to sign wherever he wants, namely with Partizan, with whom he has made a verbal commitment. The amount of compensation is of course equally important for him, especially since he was uncompromising throughout what he asked for, namely the total sum of 22,000,000 euros agreed in his contract.
