can clubs talk to players without permission?

No, clubs generally cannot talk to players under contract with another club without the consent of the player's current club. This is a rule known as "tapping up" or "tampering" and is designed to prevent clubs from poaching players by directly engaging them in transfer negotiations before the necessary legal channels have been followed.

Elaboration:

Rule of Consent:

A club seeking to sign a player under contract with another club must first negotiate a transfer fee with the player's current club. They cannot directly contact or engage in personal terms discussions with the player until a transfer agreement is in place or a release clause has been triggered.

"Tapping Up" Definition:

"Tapping up" or "tampering" refers to any form of direct communication or engagement between a club and a player under contract with another club, without the consent of the player's current club. This can include direct phone calls, meetings, or any form of communication intended to influence the player's decision.

Consequences of Illegal Approach:

If a club is found to have violated the "tapping up" rules, they can face penalties, such as fines or sporting-related sanctions.

Exceptions:

There are exceptions to this rule, such as when a player's release clause has been triggered, or when a player and their current club have mutually agreed to allow the player to explore other options.
