Alexander Isaac's success attracts interest from major clubs.
Dortmund is reported to be interested in recruiting the Swede at a sale price.
Now
Mundo Deportivo https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/r ... -2021.html reveals new details in the Swedish contract - which makes a transition for the Germans difficult.
Admittedly, there were no new goals for Alexander Isak on Sunday.
The derby between Eibar and Real Sociedad was canceled for health reasons, after a fire on a landfill in the immediate area spread toxic air in much of the Basque country.
But the Swedish who'se in great form in recent weeks - eight goals in the last seven matches - has made him one of the league's hottest players.
Speculation that even bigger clubs are keeping an eye on the Swede continues. Borussia Dortmund, who sold Isak to Real Sociedad and signed a repurchase clause of approximately €30 million, should also be interested in re-recruiting the Swede.
New details in Alexander Isaac's contract
But now Mundo Deportivo reveals that Alexander Isaac's special contract with Real Sociedad contains several clauses, which make certain circumstances difficult for Dortmund.
The Swede, as reported earlier, has two buyout clauses in his contract that extend through 2024.
Dortmund can re-recruit the Swede for €30 million
Other clubs must pay, €70 million
But according to Mundo Deportivo, there are three important clauses that govern the transition to Dortmund. The first is that Isak cannot be recruited back to Dortmund until the summer of 2021. If the German major club wants to acquire the Swede, the deal is possible to complete either the summer of 2021, 2022, 2023 or 2024.
Cannot be forced to play in Dortmund
In addition, such a deal is based on the fact that Alexander Isak himself must desire to move back to Germany.
If Isaac does not want to move back to Borussia Dortmund, he will not have to,
the magazine states.
A third detail regulates Dortmund's opportunities to earn a large coven of Alexander Isaac. It has been speculated that Dortmund could use his clause to buy Isaac €30 million and then resell him to a third club for a - potentially - twice the amount.
A clause in the Swedish contract, prevents such a deal.
They can only acquire his rights with sporting interests, and not financial ones. There is a clause that does not allow Dortmund to sell him the same year they contract him again,
writes the magazine.
Earlier this week, Marca magazine reported that Real Sociedad is also preparing a new, improved contract for Isak.
