I know this mate, but as the selling club, we can stipulate any (or not) payment terms in a contract with a release clause for our players, can we not?

Yes.

Release clauses will always be one single payment which is why you will hear things like a club bidding over the release clause to try and get the selling club to agree to favourable payment plan.

I think Pep wants another CM/AM and doesnt want to leave anything to chance regarding the midfield. Phillips could still leave on loan and i dont htink he wants to have to chance say Mcatee and Palmer for most games if we got another injury or two?

Yes, there’s always an alternative to triggering the release clause through negotiation but, the attraction of release clauses is the selling club can’t block them.

Dippers blocked Suarez to Arsenal I believe even though they had bid above the clause many years ago.

That's the #1 stupidest post I've seen on here.

A RELEASE CLAUSE IS AFAIK ALWAYS PAID IN 1 SUM TO SELLER.

First statement is your opinion, which you’re entitled to believe, no matter how wrong it sounds to anyone else

Second statement, you really haven’t remembered correctly, my rude little blue

Think you are wrong on this

Release clauses different as mentioned above with the Spanish system.


When we sign Grealish we did the deal with villa and terms are agreed between the two clubs as per a normal transfer. The release clause just sets the fee, not the terms, I'd expect it to be paid within 12 months.

I would imagine that in the contract the quantity and terms of a release clause would be stated.
The buyers could try and negotiate a variance of those terms but the club holding the contract could turn them down.
There is no point in having a release clause of say£50M if the buying club can activate it and say we are paying £1 per year for the next 50M years.

i think Pep wants to club to make a statement midfield signing to send a message we are ready to go again? His comments were very telling imo about the club having to make important decisions about the squad. Doku in today hopefully but he will want that top class player in as well which we would have had if Paqueta hadnt have been caught being naughty
