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.Harry Kane deal. Levy pulled the plug. Good thing as it gave us a better go at signing Haaland.
To a point you couldn't call Levy an idiot for not inserting one in his contract.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.
Are you sure this is right? I've heard conflicting views from my bluemoon sources :)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
Agreed but release clauses in England are rare for a good reason.What is the release clause in football?

I think they’re definitely coming common place with agents protecting their players interests so clubs don’t stop them moving on.Agreed but release clauses in England are rare for a good reason.
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.I think they’re definitely coming common place with agents protecting their players interests so clubs don’t stop them moving on.
