Contractually, what happens when a player submits a transfer request, Can a club reject it

[PET]

What are the implications for the player then ?

[Free SL]

all it means is that the player foregoes any loyalty bonus if he is sold.

Does handing in a request cut down any of conflicting points between the club and the player..

And you have a very understanding manager.

[Peter]

Nothing else. If he has a release clause then that can be activated but he doesnt need to demand it.

I think normally the only contractual status that the request has is a financial penalty for the player if he then leaves. Which is why players tend not to hand them in these days. No sign of a request from van persie, cesc or nasri but all were engineering their move for some time.

To all intents your actions have already done it.

Unless you are Theo of course who is just a nice boy and never wanted to leave.

[Peter]

Openly say you want to leave.

I believe the key to arteta signing for us was his last minute request, surrendering bonuses from everton. Made the deal stack up financially.
