2010/11 season signings and rumours

[Kenneth23]

I’m heard something new in the case about Mirza Begic.





Zalgiris Kaunas doesn’t want to release the player from his contract with the club and they have said that they want a compensation from the player of from the team that wants Mirza Begic.



But it will be very difficult for a team to get Mirza Begic out of his contract with Zalgiris. A couple of sources say that Zalgiris has made it clear who big the compensation must be to buy out his contract with them.



Zalgiris will ask a one million euros buy-out from the club that wants to get Mirza Begic away from Zalgiris. And if the club ,that’s interessed in Mirza Begic, doesn’t want to pay this compensation than Mirza Begic will have to pay the whole sum the buy out his contract with Zalgiris.



Last year Mirza Begic signed a three-year contract with Zalgiris. He still have one and half year of his contract left. This compesation is a lot for the player to pay it himself. And it’s very doubtful that a club will pay such money to buy out the contract of Mirza Begic.



Zalgiris has made is very clear that they will not release Mirza Begic from his contract with them and that he’ll only leave the club if a compensation( one million euros) is paid to Zalgiris.



Real Madrid is very interested in Mirza Begic because Ettore Messina is looking for another bigman who could come of the bench when his others bigmen, Ante Tomic and D’or Fischer, are in foul trouble or that they aren’t playing good enough.



The case about Mirza Begic has been on for a couple of weeks now and it looks like the end isn’t in sight yet.



Mirza Begic wants to leave Zalgiris and go to another club but he should have done it by another way. If it’s true that Zalgiris hasn’t paid him and he has a better offer from a better club( in the eyes of Mirza Begic) then he could leave to club with out paying a compensation.



But Zalgiris said that they have paid him correctly and he wants to leave because his managers have better offers from other clubs. It’s a very sad case for both Zalgiris as Mirza Begic.



Zalgiris is getting a bad image through Mirza Begic and that is not good for Zalgiris. They have had other problems since Mirza Begic left. Darius Salenga was tested positive on drugs and was suspended. Hopefully for Zalgiris all the bad will come to an end.



It’s bad for Mirza Begic because the compensation that Zalgiris is very high for a player like him. He isn’t a bad player but the price is too much. He can’t pay it himself and he hopes that a club who is interested in him will pay it. Because like I said before, the price that Zalgiris is asking for the buy-out of his contract is too much, no team will pay this kind of money.



Mirza Begic will have to hope that a club will pay it, even it’s one million euros. If no club is going to pay it then Mirza Begic will have to prove that Zalgiris didn’t paid him right. If he can’t prove it than Mirza Begic will have pay it himself( but he can’t and he won’t). Otherwise he has to sit out this season or go back and play for Zalgiris( but this is high unlikely). In the meantime he will have to wait and hope that Zalgiris will let the compensation go down so that the interested clubs will pay it. Maybe this will happen next season when Mirza Begin only has one year left on his contract.
