Would be proper Everton to get involved in a bidding war for a player with a release clause though.
“Will you accept £35million?!”
“Actually ‘mr new Everton CEO whose name escapes me right now’. The player has a relegation clause. You can...
I think under normal circumstances the sale isn't deferred to the end of the player's existing contract, so this is an odd case. However, it's certainly true in this case because the agreement wasn't just a deferred obligation, but includes a...
Ipswich receives the money from whichever club agrees to terms with the player. In your scenario, if Chelsea offered more than the release clause and signed the player, they'd have thrown away 10 million. What you're describing is a scenario in...
