Although it does beg the question what of Kolarov, Milner, Nasri, and Dzeko. All have deals expiring in just over 12 months.

Can you do a brief explanation of this? I understand the way contracts of athletes work here in the States, but I do not know how these contracts always seem so volatile for European football clubs.

Buy out clauses work in favour of the player and the buying club only.
They set a price that states that the player must be sold if the given amount is offered.
So for example, let's say that we put a 100m buy out clause on silva. If someone offered us 100m we would have to sell him.
However, if someone offered us a tenner and we were happy to accept that price, we could also sell him for that.
They are not common place in England but are so in Spain due a law they have over there which says every player must have one.
Spanish teams often put on a huge buy out clause to stop other clubs from buying them at a cheaper price, but if they want to sell them for the cheaper price they are free do so.
