And it is that Robin Alvarez, Son of Billy, and in charge of the contracts of the cement players, forget to stipulate a termination clause in the case of Lichnovsky, so that the player had total freedom to negotiate his link to another team without having to inform La Màquina.
This ‘slip’ was what allowed Igor to leave the Arab club for a lower sum than he paid Blue Cross to Necaxa in 2018. Without a clause that shields the footballer and determines a price to pay for anyone interested, the player has no restrictions to tempt the possibility of migrating to another club.
