One-Year Extension After League Games Clause...

[skfm]

So I've been thinking of signing Roberto Carlos and he wants a clause that says "One-Year Extension After League Games" after 20 games. I don't mind it being there, but does this mean that his contract is extended if BOTH parties like it or not? Or will I(the manager), have no choice but that the player can either accept or reject? I'm pretty sure that the manager/club has no choice but to offer the extension. What I want to know is whether the player has that choice... He's already 37 and wants a 2 year contract. Has anyone had the experience of playing someone with this clause for X number of league games and seeing what happens? Never signed anyone with a clause like this before, so that's why I'd like to know...

I think it's a clause that gives him the option to stay on after he's play (X) games in the current season.

I don't think it forcibly extends his contract for another year, it's a clause that is optional for him.

im not totally sure but i think that neither parties get a say in it and both just have to accept it if he playes 20 games

That's the thing... Well, I guess I'll just offer him 25 games instead of 20 so that in case I don't need a 40 year old Roberto Carlos in the team, I'll just control the amount of matches he plays... 20's way too little, I may accidentally play him for that many- sub appearances and all...

You can just take that away and raise his basic pay slightly.
