The Wellington Phoenix are seeking further information about Alex Paulsen’s loan move from A.F.C. Bournemouth to Auckland FC.
While the club in principle supports adapting the ‘Caceres Clause’ to allow Paulsen to return to the Isuzu UTE A-League for the 2024-25 season, it has a number of questions that have yet to be answered.
Most importantly we don’t know what “player registration and salary cap treatment guardrails” will be in place that Australian Professional Leagues (APL) say will “balance development of the A-League while ensuring competition integrity”.
We also note all player contract regulations and competition policies have yet to be approved by Football Australia.
