Barcelona have reportedly added special clauses into the contracts of their loan players which means they are unlikely to face their parent club this season.
Diario Sport and Catalunya Radio are reporting that Barca have added “fear clauses” to contracts of players such as Nico Gonzalez and Ez Abde.
The move means that if Valencia were to select Nico against Barcelona, for example, then Los Che would have to pay Barcelona some extra cash.
Sport reckon it’s fairly common practice and came about when Fernando Morientes helped Monaco knock Real Madrid out of Europe while on loan at Monaco.
