“I think in the future, you will see it more and more. Why? Because the transfers are so high, even for normal players,” he told reporters on Sunday.
“You will see more and more players going into the final year of the contract because no club will want to pay the amount demanded... in the next 10 years, it will become usual.
"Why the players run out their contract is very simple - because the transfer market is so big now that they think that if I run out my contract, I may not get the full transfer fee, but I will get a big part of it. Adding that to the inflation, it means that the financial incitement for the player is to run out his contract.
"We will see that more and more, because a good player today is between £50m-£100m. So if the player is not bought for that price then his interest is to run the contract down and say to the club who wants to buy him 'I don't want £50m, but I want part of it'."
