Did Barça add 'fear clause' for Nico and Abde?

According to Catalonia Radio, Barcelona have introduced clauses into the contracts of loan players known as the ‘fear clause’ in Spain.. Moreover, SPORT also confirmed it.

❗️There is a clause in the loan deals of Nico González and Abde Ezzalzouli by which their current clubs, Valencia and Osasuna respectively, will have to pay a compensation to Barcelona if they play against Barça.#FCB 🇪🇸 x 🇲🇦

It means that for all or almost all of the players they loaned out, including Nico Gonzalez at Valencia, if he faces Barcelona, then Valencia will have to pay the Catalans some extra money.

It’s a model that Real Madrid stuck to after Morientes shone with Monaco and knocked them out of the Champions League.

Raul de Tomas had it when he was at Rayo, Asensio and Lucas Vazquez at Espanyol, and so on.

Theoretically, that is why Collado did not face Barcelona when Elche came to Camp Nou. However, the same report said that Collado didn’t have that clause.

It’s illegal to block a player plying against their parent club and use the ‘Fear Clause’ in Spain. But this financial element is a way of making it happen without blocking it all the way.

Will Nico and Abde play vs Barça? Let’s wait and see.
