Advice needed Moving From Contractor to Permanent within same company

Hi All

Currently living in the EU as a contractor hourly rate through one of the usual suspect agencies. I won’t name them but hey have been terrible to deal with.

The company I’m working for have offered me a very significant package if I was to move permanent to them.

In my contract however it says i cannot work for the same company if I leave the contracting agency for a minimum of 6 months ( to prevent poaching I assume ).

I have heard of other people moving to permanent in similar situations but just wondering how to go about it? Would the agency look for a payment of some sort to leave them and breach the contract? I could in theory say nothing to them as they have been far from helpful for me since moving here years ago but they could potentially find out.
