It’s also cruel to force a club to trade valuable players for nothing because of salary cap mismanagement.Exactly. It would be cruel of another club to pinch a player who doesn't want to go anywhere while there is an agreement between player and his club.
I'd imagine in this situations, the players manager makes it clear to all clubs dont bother even thinking about it.
This is no different. A contender should take him, not sure what his salary is but I’d take him too!
