Atlético de Madrid Atlético contract blueprint

The private documents signed between clubs or between clubs and players are generally kept out of the public eye, but all of that has changed recently with a series of leaks.

Beyond the financial aspect, the agreements signed give us a good insight into the ins and outs of football and the relationships between clubs and players.

In the case of Atlético, for example, based on their contracts, each player "commits to attending the social events required of them by the club". The player will be informed with a minimum of two days' notice, never on their days off and for a maximum of six events of this nature per calendar year.

It is also made clear that "the player is required to use the car given to them by the club as a result of the sponsorship agreements in place", particularly when "arriving at and leaving" the club's facilities and other venues attended. It is a question of image.

When it comes to the integrity of the competition, it is forbidden "to partake directly or indirectly in any form of sports betting", as well as to "act in any way to determine or manipulate the result of a game".
