Sebastian Coates Has A Bizarre Clause In His Contract

We hope Sebastian Coates isn't too attached to the colour red as his loan club Sporting Lisbon have banned him from wearing red boots due to the fact it's the colour of their rivals Benfica.

Coates is on loan with the Portuguese giants from Sunderland, having previously played for Liverpool, and has another colour related clause in his contract which states that he cannot wear blue either, as that is the colour associated with Porto.

The contract details were leaked by Football Leaks who are presumably now running low on star players whose details they can reveal to the masses and have opted for on loan Sunderland defenders instead of the likes of Gareth Bale and Luka Modric.
