  1. “If Barca management didn’t want a release clause triggering his early departure, it shouldn’t have put one in his contract. And if it wanted a release clause sufficiently high that no one would pay, it could have done that, too.”Sorry, but neither of those statements are true. Under Spanish law, every player is entitled to leave a club if they choose; they must either pay a release amount set by a tribunal, or a previously agreed-upon amount (ie, the release clause in the contract).If the player believes the release clause is too high (even if he agreed to it in the contract) he can challenge it in court, as well. http://www.espnfc.com/spanish-primera-division/15/blog/post/3172294/how-release-clauses-work-neymar-treated-like-any-spanish-worker

  2. It’s worth noting that Ronaldo and Benzema have been rumored to have release clauses of $1 billion. That might be the case, but if they really wanted out, they could probably challenge it (successfully) in court by pointing out that no team in the world could possibly afford that price under FFP rules. The Spanish law is very firm and gives power to workers, for them to have freedom of movement.

  3. I personally think there should be a cap on release clauses – €100m. Clubs should not try to force players to stay with unreasonable amounts. Also, these clauses are artificially inflating the transfer costs for players. Now Barcelona is having to deal with ridiculous transfer amounts for Dembele and Cutinho.

  4. If Barcelona doesn’t rescind this absurd lawsuit, everyone should boycott buying there products and hit them where it hurts!
