    because expecting him to have 100% loyalty is unrealistic. Negotiating a release clause is basically a club saying “look we value you at 180, but we dont want to give you handcuffs so we’ll accept 160 for your release”

    going back to villa example - grealish was given a 100m release clause because it was set as at english record level and that way the team could say “look we really dont want to sell you as we think you’re the best, but if someones willing to pay up for the best, then we wont stand in the way”

    in short - its just a way of appeasing players that you’re not going to just deny every single offer that comes their way even if they do want out

      Ah okay. Thanks for explaining. I’m not by any stretch the most knowledgeable here.
