What is the release clause in football?

However, they are still a fairly established part of the game. A release clause is a clause in a player's contract that sets out a pre-determined transfer fee and states that a club is automatically required to accept an initial offer for a player if the buying club makes an offer of that exact value.23
 
Harry Kane was an idiot with no written release clause in his contract, just a "gentleman's" agreement, but he was dealing with Daniel Levy, hence the term "gentleman" is null and void.
To a point you couldn't call Levy an idiot for not inserting one in his contract.

Are you sure this is right? I've heard conflicting views from my bluemoon sources :)

Agreed but release clauses in England are rare for a good reason.
 
I think they’re definitely coming common place with agents protecting their players interests so clubs don’t stop them moving on.
Other than Grealish, Suarez and this transfer I can't think of any English Premier League based players or teams having one in their contract. Up until now only we were the only successful in activating Grealish's one.

Haaland allegedly widely reported Bernie too and probably Paqueta and probably many more we don’t get to know about.

With either I am a little suprised none of our Premier League rivals have activated the clause if there is one.

Haaland was only foreign teams ie Madrid and think it only active from next season. Bernie £50 million clause is active shortly but no prem club will activate it cos Bernie wants a country change.

Because the player still has the option to say no? The current club has to notify the player that the clause has been offered and then the player can decide if they fancy that club to move to and then it goes on from there?

Think luke Shaw has one in his contract it states he's allowed to negotiate with any club that allows him at least 2 visits to greggs per day

No point activating any clause if you know the player has no intention of joining you, or would ask for way more than you could afford.

£50m isn't much as far as transfer fees go these days especially for our rivals.
