Cavani (continued)

[Neville Kneville]

We could end up paying over the realease clause stated in his contract.

We wont pay anything over 35-40m, no chance.

Don't forget it is an Italian club we dealing with and more specifically De Laurentiis

We could end up paying over the realease clause stated in his contract. The point of a release clause is also acts as a deterrent

Why would we pay more than his release clause when they have to accept the bid if we pay his release clause ?

These days it seems like you can’t be thought of as a world class soccer player unless you have a super-sized release clause in your contract. The most recently example: Barcelona have finally closed the book on the protracted transfer saga/soap opera that was Cesc Fabregas’ move to the Camp Nou. In addition to the £35m fee paid it was announced that the midfielder had a €200m release clause inserted in his contract.

The high price is supposed to be a statement of intent to keep a player but is it really anything besides a headline grab? Why not just state unequivocally that the player is off market for the duration of his contract? Because every player has his price. Does anyone believe that if a club bid 100m for Fabregas Barcelona wouldn’t snap off their hand before the sentence was finished just because a release clause was not met?

This is not to say that all release clauses are fluff, smaller clubs looking to extract value from a superstar talent can benefit greatly from committing a player in this way (Neymar, Coentrao). But for mega-clubs the release clause is more of a financial fog machine to grow the mystique of money and power around the club rather than any real statement of intent.

The releae clause is how much money it takes for the club to stand back & allow the player to sign for someone else, if he wishes. Some clubs set it so high that they expect nobody will pay it. If someone does however, they are powerless to stop it.

If Cavani's release clause is £50 mil, & we offer £50 mil, he is ours if he agrees to sign & Napoli can do nothing about it apart from beg him to stay & hope he turns us down.

I don't think we will pay £50 mil, so unless they are willing to let him go for less in the summer, then I can't see us signing him. But you never know.

Barca recently accepted a bid for Messi.

He chose to stay at Barca.

If I'm not wrong, for La Liga, clubs are required to have release clauses for every player. Thus, you see phenomenal amounts for players like Ronaldo and Messi.

Who and what was the bid for Messi?

 

[Danamy]

This would be the ultimate icing on the cake for Mancini, he's been wanting this player since day one and enquires about him in every window.

About 205M from Anzhi. Offered him 400k a week apparently. Unsurprisingly turned down

 

[Bluemooner33]

20million plus Balotelli would be a good deal

 

[welsh_andy]

on mario Walter Mazzarri saying he would find the challenge of working with the striker ‘stimulating. so maybe theres a chance we can offload him to napoli as part of deal

All i know is his mandate's been sent out so it's looking like he's on the move

This could end up another De Rossi type saga if we are not careful. Italian clubs in general are stubborn bastards.
