No clause is ill omens. Leeds did decline a 50 odd mil bid recently... Yuck, that fee would be really odd for a backup :S the 40 and under wouldve been decent.
Markets changed, Southampton are asking for 65 million for JWP. Leeds have every right to ask for 50 odd for Kalvin Phillips. AC Milan are asking for 50 million euros for a CDM they don’t even use.
Its going to be very hard to find a CDM for under 40, unless they have a clause or they will accept players in a deal.
