Buyout clauses in Spain (and probably Portugal too) have to be inserted into every contract by law (Royal Decree)
The buyout clause is 'supposed' to be proportionate to wages and length of contract to allow players the possibility to buy themselves out of their contract eg Neymar, but some are now in excess of £1b which is frankly ridiculous.

Getting £20million+ and that sell on clause made it an offer we couldn’t refuse if the sell on is what has been said 35% that’s potentially huge for us and Sporting do sell, Vik bangs the goals in the big European clubs will be hovering.

Where has the sell-on been quoted? I’ve not seen anything outside of SBT.

£20.5m and 35% of any profit would be pretty damn impressive.

100m Euros release clause according to that! Been a fan of Vik's from the start, and if his value climbs to that level it would no doubt bring us a nice bonus, but it seems like an absurd figure to me.

Lameires has a £50 million release clause. Its supposed to protect an employee from being forced to stay when he wants to leave

This is on the verge of hitting the Guinness book of records on the longest drawn out football players signing in 140 years of professional football.

Can only think that there is a snag somewhere and we may be holding it up our end?

Something doesn't seem right it's taking this long. I mean, he landed there 24 hours ago... how long does it take to do a medical, agree terms (already would have been agreed before) and picking up a pen to sign a piece of paper?

The fee and add-on's would have been agreed in advance in writing before with CCFC so what's holding it up?

Of course it’s our fault....
Why don’t you just let it happen when it happens.

It’s been due in the next 24 hours for at least two weeks now.

After all his moaning at us through the Swedish Press standing in his way it now seems Sporting Lisbon have mislaid their only pen 😂

Declan Rice had his medical at Arsenal at the weekend and still hasn’t been announced.

There is absolutely no chance we have a 35% sell on

This was reported alongside the €20m bid. As it’s now increased to €24m I’d expect the sell-on clause has reduced.

Didn’t someone suggest that in Portugal it’s customary for the sell-on fee to be calculated on the full sale price, rather than just the profit?
