Dont get why people are having a hissy fit over a release clause. It protects both the club and they player. We are well known not to keep unhappy player anyway this just allows the club to say the fee is set at whatever the clause is pay up or move on. it also protects haaland for example if were not in champs league or winning things ect. dont see an issue with it personally.
Exactly. It’s a clause freely entered into by two willing parties who are competent to do so, that provides them both with a level of certainty. Don’t see what the big deal is.

I wouldn't necessarily expect Pep to answer honestly in press conferences when asked about release clauses. Not saying he's lying but he's got no reason to let the press know the truth about Halaands release clause or not. Just easier to say he hasn't got on and then get on with his life. Saying he has one just gets everyone being annoying:

Journo: Hi Pep. Does Erling Haaland have a release clause?
Pep: Yes
J: Can you tell us how much it is?
Pep: sure it's £200m quid
J: so if Real Madrid bid £200m quid Haaland will leave Manchester City?
Pep: not necessarily. We would inform Erling a bid had been made and it would be up to Madrid and Erling to agree a move.
J: so Erling wouldn't go to Madrid?
P: well that would be up to him
J: if Liverpool bid £200m would City let Halaand leave?
P: well the release clause would have been met so Erling would be free to talk to Liverpool but it doesn't mean he would and we'd hope we could provide him an environment where he could excel.
J: what about if United bid £200m?
P: ....
J: what about Chelsea?
P: .....
J: Barcelona?
P:...
J: PSG?
P: it's a release clause. If a team meets it they can talk to Haaland
J: if Liverpool bid £199m would Erling go?
P: flip guys can we talk about left backs instead?
J: how much exactly would it take for City to let Erling go?
Press Officer: let's move on
