I think they mean the deal in general. A year ago he wasn't worth 35m but he had such a good season (seemingly to the surprise of everyone i guess) hes now worth more than 35m, but because of that clause he COULD go for 35m. No agent wants that to hurt their relationship with the buying club. Just sounds a bit odd really.

Pochettino's comments are misleading. Of course Levy has the final say, since he's the one signing the cheques and so no player can be signed unless Levy is willing to pay what it might take to get a player that Pochettino wants.
But that doesn't change the fact that Pochettino has the major say in deciding which player(s) he'd like Spurs to try and sign.
Ridiculous if true.
They have the cash though with Greizmann, Rodri going. Plus whathisface gone to Bayern

Oh yeah forgot about Rodri & Hernandez
If this is true. This is mad although not as mad as the £350,00/week, we were supposedly offering him. To jump from £75,000-£80,000/week I have read he is on, to this is a massive leap. Especially considering in January we were supposed to be getting him too sign new contract for £150,000 per week, although that may be true or not.

I'm confused about that Bruno article thing.
No agent wants to be part of the deal as it may upset the clubs going in for him...?
But why... He has no buyout clause, so why should it matter if he costs 35m or 55m.
Sporting either say yes or no to an offer.... An agent isn't part of that side of the negotiations.

If football manager 19 has taught me anything those'll be a couple of astute signing for Charlton there.

I had the same confusion and started wondering if it was some translation issue. Makes no sense
Always a good one to sign on FifaTweet

Wasn't he like one of the next big things when he was at Basel? Could be mistaken, mind.
Not sure if anyone replied to you before I got the chance, but he said the below:
Rakitic: “I respect Gays but I don’t want these people in the dressing room. I respect them as much as I respect dwarves, blacks or obese people, but I prefer not to have any in my life”
Insane wages. I hope it's not true but it really seems stardom has gone to Rashford's head. I'm sure Lingard would demand around the same wage if he was about to get a new contract now.

Christ you lot love a moan. Pay packets are heavily structured with performance bonuses. We made this shift years ago and were one of the first to do so. It was imperative to sign him to a long contract. Fans seem both detached from the reality of football economics, and ignorant to its intricacies.
Except @IrishRedDevil who made the only sensible post, which is why you are quoted.
Not a complaint, just a question: @Fridge chutney do you follow every football league club on twitter or something? How do you find these obscure deals 
Sack Fridge, sell Chutney
Why do i feel like opening bid will be £15m, £5m for winning CL, 100 can of beans for the life of the contract, 50 tickets to watch United at home in the Europa League, a friendly to be played in Albania and a night with SAF as guest speaker for 15 minutes!
Feels like the kind of nonsense we'd start with!
Remember when Schalke posted that presentation tweet where they showed all of the clubs they supposedly beat to his signature? I bet that seems a bit silly in hindsight.
Shaw and De Ligt won't appreciate the obese comments. As for blacks lets get real who can he play for! Yedder won't appreciate the Dwarf comments. And Lingard and Rashford will disapprove with the gay comments.
Sounds like a nightmare for us!
All jokes aside, this should be a career ending comment to make.
Pretty sure he actually turned us down before he moved, if I remember rightly he got a serious injury very early on and it seems to have derailed his development.
I was just thinking exactly that.
Didn't he retire after the FA Cup?
So has the income clubs generate though. Sponsorships and TV revenue has gone through the roof. As such, prices will increase. Value is incredibly subjected and can fluctuate greatly, depending on the economic circumstances. People taking wheelbarrows of cash to buy groceries in post world war 1 Germany for example. Of course a loaf of bread isn't 'worth' a thousand marks but when money is flooding in, prices increase.
How the mighty have fallen. We were heavily linked with him a few years back and I’m sure the transfer fee was rumoured to be in the £40 million region.
He'll have appeared in plenty of 'dream lineups' on here two summers ago.
Thought he retired during the match.
Rashford hasn't done jack to be awarded such an expensive contract. It's hilarious that a guaranteed 30 goal striker like Kane get paid 110k and this guy will be paid 250k. Rashford just got 10 goals in the league this past season and he was terrible for the majority of it. Another Sanchez sorta mistake if this is true. He's at best worth 170k/ week.
Structure!
If true I hope this isn’t another 3 week long drama. Obviously Newcastle will want a shit tonne of cash even though he has only 9 league apps. I really cannot get excited by this signing unless it is swift and additional to some top talent coming in.
He was supposed to be.
