Madrid are known to cull unwanted players at throwaway prices..
VDV, Sneidjer, Negredo etc. For some good reason, We were bent on Jovetic initially..

they knew would be rejected. Now the second improved offer is talked of in the same way.

Interesting.

Why is that such a "piss take"? It's obviously just meant to tip it over the threshold

[Billy Goat Sverige]

Agent would both believe it to be a release clause only for Liverpool to completely ignore it.

[Brentwood]

It's a legally binding document related to the sale of a multi million pound asset. The agent shouldn't leave anything open as a gentleman's agreement or a verbal agreement. Especially something so important as a release clause. What advantage is it to the player that they have to let him know when a bid over 40m comes in? Obviously he'd get to know about it without the club telling him anyway
