To be fair to Pep (which the media will not be) I thought he was careful to say there was no specific release clause for Real Madrid which was the question he was asked. I would have thought though that general release clauses are probably routine for all the biggest players. The key thing though is that the decision on whether to leave will end up with the player and Haaland can stay as long as he likes.Pep has said there isn't a clause.
He couldn't have been any clearer.He didn’t. He said there’s not a clause for any specific team
Meaning what exactly?He couldn't have been any clearer.
Usual stories in the run up to a game v a red top.Talkshite main sports bulletin headline.
"Erling Haarland contract release clause has been revealed..."
They really have fuck all to do.
There will be more clauses than the "journalists" can count (on both sides), there will be similar on every single contract signed including the youth team players signing their first contract. Why people get worked up about it is beyond me.If Pol Balus is saying there is a clause, there is a clause.
He’s at the Athletic because he’s good friends with the Catalan heirarchy at the club and they brief what they want out there through Peps assistant (Estiarte?) to him
Unless he stops scoring and then they couldn’t care less.trouble is all we will hear for the next 2 years is transfer rumours and the clause.
It's extremely naive of anybody to think there's no release clause.There will be more clauses than the "journalists" can count (on both sides), there will be similar on every single contract signed including the youth team players signing their first contract. Why people get worked up about it is beyond me.
