This clause raises the possibility of Holan's future transfer, which has been rumored to be a transfer.
Holan's widely known contract terms are until June 2027, and the contract cancellation fee (penalty) that must be paid when transferring to another club during the contract period amounts to 150 million pounds (about 273.8 billion won).
According to Spanish media 'El Nacional' on the 24th (Korea time), there is a clause that significantly reduces penalties if they fail to qualify for the European Champions League (UCL) next season.
Manchester City has reigned as the strongest team in the English Premier League (EPL), so there was no need to worry about winning the UCL. From the 2010-2011 season to the 2023-2024 season, he has never been out of the UCL's Maginot Line (fourth place in the league), including the last four consecutive wins, eight league wins, three second-place finishes, two third-place finishes, and one fourth-place finish.

"'El Nacional' reported that 'Spain FC Barcelona President Joan Laporta and Coach Han Ji-flick are not hiding their interest in recruiting Holan while they are aware of the provisions in question'.
In particular, Flick believes Holan will be the best player to lead Barcelona's attack in the future, added 'El Nacional'.
Even if the penalty is reduced under the 'secret clause', it may still be a burden for Barcelona, which has financial problems. However, it is known that midfielder Frenkie De Jong or striker Ferran Torres will be sold, and if he attracts additional income from his sponsor, it is not completely impossible to recruit Holan.
'El Nacional' predicted that not only Barcelona but also other prestigious clubs would rush into the recruitment race if it was found out that the penalty reduction clause existed.
In the end, Holan and Manchester City's 'secret clause' will be a big variable in determining Holan's future.
