Sky Sports reported that Nottingham Forest Club has officially sent a letter to Tottenham and Morgan Gibbs White's agents warning that legal action will be taken on suspected illegal contacts with players and breach of the confidentiality terms of the contract.
Sky Sports News learned that the letters have issued legal notices to both parties, reaffirming their obligations and clearly stated that Forest Club determined that the behavior of Tottenham and the player's agent team violated the rules of the Premier League and undermined the terms of the player's contract.
Although Tottenham has not commented publicly, it is understood that they firmly believe in their operations and remain interested in the midfielder after the £60 million offer was rejected.
Forest Club has a tough attitude on this matter and clearly stated that although no punitive measures have been taken yet, it is ready to protect its rights through Premier League litigation and judicial procedures.
Sky Sports Reporter Rob Dorsett also interpreted the key issues of the transfer storm. Regarding the part of illegal contact with players, the reporter said: "Although clubs are relatively common to test potential transfer goals in advance, Premier League rules expressly prohibit 'private hook-up' (or any substantial negotiation). Article T.3 of the Premier League Manual stipulates that the buyer's club must obtain written permission from the seller's club before contacting the player, otherwise they will face disciplinary sanctions. Any club who contacts the contract players directly or indirectly without the permission of the T.1.2 or T.2 is deemed to be a violation of the rules and will be handled in accordance with the disciplinary terms."
Regarding the contract confidentiality terms agreement, the reporter said: "Gibbs White's existing There is a legal conflict between the rights of employers and employees in the contract. Forest Club has a confidentiality agreement with it, especially for the confidentiality obligation of the termination fee. If the clause is leaked, the club will have the right to legally pursue the lawsuit. But on the other hand, the contract also stipulates that when other clubs pay a specific transfer fee, the player can leave the team, which means that Gibbs White also has potential legal claims. Neither party wants to resort to court, but both parties regard this as a potential option. "
Sky Sports said that the current situation is at a deadlock. If Gibbs White insists on transferring, he may need to sue Forest Club for forced promotion of the transaction on the grounds of "breach of contract", but there is currently no such sign. The players have returned to the team with the international players in the team yesterday as planned. Another possibility is that Tottenham raises its offer to termination fees to ease the relationship between the two sides, but the two clubs are currently in contact with no signs that Tottenham is willing to compromise. Third-party clubs (Manchester City, which has expressed interest before) may also take advantage of the situation, but have not taken action yet.
The current situation is extremely subtle. Nottingham Forest is not willing to feel dissatisfied with the core players, but also needs to maintain its image as an "ambitious club that sells core players." If Gibbs White is lost after Ilanga transfers to Newcastle, the club will lose two main players before the season begins (although they receive £115 million for this).
Although the existence of the termination clause weakens the club's control over its core assets, the club's Greek boss Marinakis will definitely defend the club's reputation with all his might. He and Tottenham chairman Levi are both the toughest negotiators in the Premier League, and both sides are difficult to make concessions.
