Famous Last Words
I'd love to know the ins and outs of how you actually activate a release clause.
The legal department just writes to the other legal department and says we have activated the clause?
Anyone with actual knowledge on this?
Presumably, just send them a formal offer for the player, offering the value at which the release clause is set.
I believe in Spain (where a release clause is mandatory for every player) that the player buys themselves out of the contract. So the buying club transfers the funds to the player whilst presumably also altering the selling club to what they’re doing.
I’d assume it works the same way over here.
