Mirotic's contract termination hits a snag and could end up in court!
The player has rejected Barcelona's latest proposal, which offered to pay him for one year of the contract in 2024. Mirotic is determined to receive payment for the two years of the contract he has signed with the club. The agreement to terminate the contract between FC Barcelona and Nikola Mirotic has not been reached. Despite the initial good will presented by both parties to resolve the situation in the best possible way, the negotiation has stalled in the last few hours, and reaching an agreement seems difficult to achieve. The separation between the club and the player occurred after the Euroleague Final Four. After numerous attempts to reach an agreement with Mirotic's agent regarding the salary reduction for the two years of the contract he had signed with Barcelona, and receiving a negative response in all attempts, the club changed its strategy and informed him of their intention to terminate the contract and seek a team for the next season. Initial good rapport between Mirotic and Barça for the termination
According to SPORT's sources, despite the delicate nature of the matter, there was a good rapport between Mirotic and Barça to reach an agreement. However, the club feels that the agent has not informed Mirotic about the day-to-day intentions of the club and that the inherited contract from the previous board was impossible to maintain. Barça's proposed contract termination to Mirotic When Mirotic learned that he would not be a player for Barcelona next season, the number 33 committed to finishing in the best possible way and playing the best possible final, which happened and was demonstrated by winning the MVP after the resounding 3-0 victory over Real Madrid. Once the final series was over, Barcelona proposed to the player and his agent to pay him for one of the two years of the signed contract, to be done in the summer of 2024. In this way, if he signed with another team with a lower salary, the club would cover that salary difference at the end of the next season, and at the same time, it would help Barcelona to gain some financial breathing room. If there is no agreement, the contract termination could end up in court
Mirotic and his representative responded with a resounding no, stating that the player wants to receive full payment for the two years of the signed contract. Faced with this situation, Barcelona is clear: if Mirotic does not accept the proposal on the table before June 30th, they will unilaterally terminate the contract, regardless of whether the matter ends up in the hands of the justice system. Therefore, the situation between the club and the player is at a standstill, but Barcelona's position is firm. If there is no agreement, Nikola Mirotic's departure is highly likely to end up in court.
