You clearly don't understand how release clauses work.

If there's no release clause and you don't want to sell the player you can give him any price you want. A release clause limits that. They have ZERO benefit to the (selling) club. Look at Neymar, Barca gave him an "insane" "hands-off" release clause of €222M. A few years later after the market had continued to inflate, PSG paid it.

There is a very good reason City and almost every top team in Europe DON'T give their top players release clauses.

Sané's transfer would have been completely unaffected by a release clause, unless it was cheaper than what Bayern paid. Contracts will still run down with or without release clauses.

Do you understand release clauses? ;)
(Sorry Kun, couldn’t resist)

Barca didn’t give Neymar a release clause as a ‘hands off’ reason. All players in Spain by law have to have a release clause in their contract. I’d consider Real, Barca, Athleti & Seville as 4 of the top European teams in Europe, so to say almost every top European team don’t give their players buy out clauses, I’d suggest is incorrect

Would we need to change our game to accommodate him though?

Personally I don't think we would too much. He would adapt to our game. He's deceptively quick and he can press (not Dortmund's tactic tonight). The amount of touches we have in and around the box compared to nearly every other team, he would have a field day. We love getting the ball wide and often one of my biggest frustrations is how many times a decent cross is swept up by a centre back or goes out for a throw in.

Would love us to sign him.
 
Tonight he disappointed me. It wasn’t because he didn’t score. It was just his overall play, he did nothing that impressed me. Even his work rate seemed poor tonight.

I know that Spain / Spanish FA require it in their contracts.

The size of the buy-out clause was meant to be “too big” for anyone to pay but PSG didn’t see it that way after however long. My point was they would have been better without one but had no choice. That’s why only selling clubs really agree to release// buy-out clauses.

Both release and buy-out clauses give more power to the player and buying club and takes power away from the selling club.
