Administrative error means Mallorca's Chori Castro can leave for €18,000 .....

Due to admin error, Chori Castro has €18,000 release fee
02/06/2011 | Transfers

Real Mallorca have suffered yet another embarrassing piece of news after Spanish daily Marca revealed that Chori Castro’s release stands at €18,000 due to an admin error.

Castro signed a deal worth £16,500 per week at the club and agreed a release fee of €18 million (£15.7 million). But because of a typing error in the drawing up of the contracts, the final three zeros were missed off.

It is an embarrassing revelation for the club with their star player, who seems like to move on in the summer, being able to leave for just a few thousand Euros.

wtf?!?!? this is the most stupid thing I have ever heard of in football.

cant he sign a new

lets get him

Allright great , I'll buy him and resell him for 10 mil.. Then with that money I'll buy out several administrators to make mistakes "ON PURPOSE".

So my business can continue to blossom

Wow, definition of epic fail.

Hahahaha, I am going to buy him and let him play in my college team. That sounds like a splendid plan.

He shouldnt leave, he should sign a new contract and leave for like 7 milion pounds... lol

Rafael Nadal's not gonna like that piece of news.

Anyway, I know that no club would be that low to pay exactly 18000 euros for him.

I won't be surprised if I hear the one who prepared the contract is sacked.

I was wondering whether something like this had ever happened the other day.
