Tevez and Mascherano Was Free Transfer
Filed in archive Premiership 2006/7 by daryl on September 8, 2006

If the Telegraph are to be believed (and I don't see any reason why not) then the details of West Ham's Tevez and Mascherano deal are as follows:
- The deal was a free transfer from Corinthians to West Ham, although West Ham paid around £5 million in agents' fees.
- A clause in the contract specifies that West Ham have to sell if a bid comes in at any time in the next five years.
- The transfer met Fifa regulations and the players are on normal West Ham salaries.
- Georgian billionaire Badri Patarkatsishvili 'owns' 100 per cent of Tevez and 50 per cent of Mascherano, the other half being 'owned' by Globo, the Brazilian television company.
- Patarkatsishvili has described the West Ham deal as "rental", though a five-year lease would be more accurate.
Seems the best hope of Tevez and Mascherano staying at West Ham is if the suggested takeover by Middle Eastern
billionaires takes place, giving the club enough clout to purchase the players outright. Otherwise I don't see them sticking around too long.
