Ashby Saint Posted 31 January, 2023 Share Posted 31 January, 2023 (edited) 2 minutes ago, saintwbu said: Yeah absolutely, but that’s why it seems weird that anyone would be bidding above the release clause - once the clause is met, it’s then entirely down to the player whether he wants to move or not. The only reason I could think for this is mentioned above, maybe neither club wants to pay in full and therefore are willing to bid above the clause instead so they can pay it via instalments. If you have a cashflow problem then it is a useful workaround. You coul always throw some of the early money at the player wages so that he accepts your terms.

Turkish Posted 31 January, 2023 Share Posted 31 January, 2023 6 minutes ago, Dman said: It’s exactly how it works. It’s more of a eBay ‘buy it now’ rather than Auction. If a release clause is set at X, if you offer X then the player is free to agree terms with you. Little the selling club can do. Id expect Marseille have offer 2m more but in instalments rather than a lump sum, which the release fee needs to be paid at. But if the buy it now clause is X and we offer X the player can speak to you and the club can’t stop it, why does it make any difference if another club offers more? The selling club have to sell to the club that offer the release clause of the player wants to go to them regardless of if they’ve got a higher bid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we’ve agreed to pay the release clause in full, then we’re free to talk to the player. It seems in this case, the player just didn’t want to come here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping a deal quiet for a team destine for relegation, to prevent potentially other interest from better clubs isn’t really doing that.. is it. It also doesn’t stop the selling club from leaking things to get a better price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vitinha - Porto/Braga/Vigo Sulemana - Rennes Maybe someone with actual access might be helpful but spare a thought to the person who has to organise these last minute flights. There's a private flight from Groningen, so maybe Southampton are going for Ricardo Pepi who they were linked with a year or so ago.
