May be true but it would be very strange to have a release clause mid season.
Not if you joined midseason.

True, I guess we will find out in January.From a Dortmund perspective paying north of €50m (inc agents fees) for a player and accepting a €75m release clause wasn't sensible.
They were so desperate for Haaland all the rules went out the window.
Whoever pays Raiola the most will get him unfortunately.
In Spain they are convinced the clause starts in January, 2 years after Haaland joined Dortmund.
Oh god no thanks..I think we will sign oyarzabal
it really would be the stupidest possible transfer. another winger to the most stacked position we have, mediocre player, too expensive, can't get a striker now.Oh god no thanks..
Raaland ??If we don't sign Haaland, I'm blaming those who keep spelling his surname with an R.

I hope you are right.Don’t agree Raiola will have an agents fee which will no doubt be Very, very high (possible towards Pogba’s) and if you don’t pay that you can’t do the deal.
Alfie will have one as well.
However as long as those are meet the factors such as wages, signing on fee etc. Project, where he wants to play will drive his decision.
Raiola will have a say but it won’t simply comes down to who gives him the most.

Did they not pay €20-25m for him? Thats what I had read. Even so, I would agree it wasn't sensible to include a release clause, but the balance is far less extreme. If the latter figure, it still guaranteed tripple what they paid for him, as a young and not that proven player, 2 years at least, and time yo find a replacement or convince him to stay.

The real cost of signing Haaland: Huge commission to his father and Mino Raiola
Borussia Dortmund's signing of Erling Haaland is set to cost them a lot more than the 20 million euros stated by the club over the weekend....www.marca.com
Normal transfers don't include €25m in agents fees - more than the money spent on the player.Thanks. Having read 'the true cost' on plenty of our transfers where some bored journalist throws every figure he can into the mix, I will discard that. His formal transfer fee reported was 20m. His release clause 75m. Daft yes, disproportionate, probably not If you add 35m onto that, sure, but that's not necessarily true.
