What is a football contract?
A football contract is a legal agreement between a player and a club, outlining terms like salary, duration, and bonuses. When a player has only 12 months left, like Gabriel Jesus, clubs often try to sell them to get a transfer fee rather than letting them leave for free when the contract expires.
