They don't want to sell for that amount, it's that high because they don't want to sell at all. The reason Spanish clubs insert crazy high release clauses is the same reason English clubs don't do release clauses at all.It would be nice if every players release clause was dependent on their salary, age and contract duration. I’m sure some math people can come up with a formula there. This thing of teams paying someone 50k but wanting to sell the player for 150million is rubbish. If you are worth more then you must be paid accordingly

It's very unlikely that these 1 billion euro release clauses hold up in court if the player decides they want out.It would be nice if every players release clause was dependent on their salary, age and contract duration.

No they aren’t in theory but how do you think a 17 year old with working class parents manage to negotiate a balanced contracts with Barca managers?The players aren’t forced to sign a contract with high release clauses.
I hope that’s the case because it doesn’t even make sense. Imagine your employer saying we are signing this contract so that you can work for us for 5 years. Want to add this clause that prohibits any other employer from buying your contract out.It's very unlikely that these 1 billion euro release clauses hold up in court if the player decides they want out.
Us?He’ll probably be on loan at a mid-table club within a few years.
it’s the Spanish labour lawhaving a contract where one party has the means to terminate it is unacceptable.
There was a case a while back, Iban Zubiarre, the courts ruled in his favor and he did not have to pay the 30m release clause to leave. The ruling specifically mentioned that if the fee is exhorbitant then it doesn't really follow its intended purpose, which is to allow the player to quit.I hope that’s the case because it doesn’t even make sense.
