The red bull Tottenham hotspur arena has a rather grand ring to it doesn't it?

Jeez I hope not!

I follow F1 - Horner and Red Bull generate more whine than a straight cut gearbox! ?

No way I’d want THFC associated with that lot! ??

 

[Yiddo100]

But then why would they turn down say £60m this year, if there is a £43m release clause next year? They’d effectively be paying a £17m loan fee for a year of football.

I’m not sure but they’ve done the exact same thing with nkunku

Also never red. ...they would have to rebrand to white bull

I stopped buying Red Bull because of them, can have my shekels help that mob.

Its also the case if you buy a player via a release clause you normally have to pay that fee in one go rather then spreading the payments out over several years. Most clubs on the whole aren't so keen to pay that amount in one lump sum. They did the same thing with Nkunku, release clause from next summer for £60 mil. Ultimately it means they will get more instant capitol and it benefits the player also as it means they can ask for larger contracts. its like BVB and Haaland, im sure he is getting stupid wages by City.

This has never been on if you ask me. All media led. We’d have known for ages that he has no interest in coming and they have no interest in selling.

i have no doubt he’d have come here until they brought the release clause into play.

before, if we were willing to stump up 80 million and there was no other path out, he’s probably move.

now, with a 45-ish million release clause? he’ll have all of europes top clubs at his door.

it’s a very solid business model from leipzig and one that, while i don’t necessarily think we should adopt, we may need to incorporate if we’re going to try and challenge city and liverpool and recruit europe’s elite young talent.

I just really don't see us getting both him and Bremer unless we sell Sanchez.

Would make sense in that we could get a decent fee from someone inexcusably

 

[worcestersauce]

The release clause level is a bit irrelevant, they've secured him for another year knowing they'll have to consider selling him next year so they've started the bidding at a reserve fee of apparently £43m, it will rise well beyond that.

Why would it rise beyond that?

Not if the release clause is 43m

Not if the release clause is 43m

Because it's a release clause not a "buy now" figure.
If someone offers £43 there's nothing to stop someone else offering £50 and so on, RB can accept a higher offer.

Nah agent led. He contacted us too(obviously knowing we were interested).

Is there anything concrete regarding the new contract, or is it all based off the Mail headline which is quoting that Croatian journalist?

Why would a club offer £50m when Leipzig would have to accept an offer of £43m?

I don’t think you understand how release clauses work…

No one should be offering 50m for a player has a 43m release clause, it makes no sense

Please make it make sense

You could but that would be stupid. If we offered £50m and Bayern £43m he could still choose to go to them and RB couldn't stop it.

There was that guy from transfermarkt as well unless that’s the same bloke.

 

[SpartanSpur]

Looks like Chelsea are going for Ake. I assume that takes them out of the running for Gvardiol but also probably gives City the ability to gazump any offer we could make for him this summer or next.

The only reason they'd do this is to stagger the payments, but I'm sure they could still get better rates getting a loan and paying the release fee. The release clause is the release so anyone who offers 43m in one go has to be accepted.
