If only Pogba had a £70m release clause.
If he had a £70m release clause it would be activated by Real, Barca and PSG.
If only Pogba had a £70m release clause.
What you should be saying is 'If only Pogba had a £100m release clause' as that would mean we'd be the only feckers who could pay it and there'd be none of this agent percentage drama and Juve wouldn't have been able to ask anything more either. We'd have just got the player's nod, and gone ahead with it, all done and dusted in no time.If only Pogba had a £70m release clause.
Napoli has offered Ajax 32€ Million for Arkadiusz Milik
If we did, Real will step in. They might not pay quite as much but it's not going to teach Juventus much of a lesson. Best bet is just to suck it up, pay the fees and remember this the next time that Juventus come calling for one of our own.I think it is high time for United to walk away from this deal.

But doesn't this minimum fee have to be paid in full? Maybe, the Napoli board found the fee acceptable and agreed to let them pay over 2 installments. Otherwise, what's the point of having a release clause.
Can juve spend so much without pogbas sale? Iirc they were financially ok but not that rich per say.
Juve have confirmed it themselves in the tweet above:Apparently Napoli are allowing them to pay the release clause in two halves - one this summer and the other part next year, so they'd be fine even if they keep Pogba.
Juventus Football Club can today confirm that it has purchased the registration rights of Gonzalo Higuain for €90 million, payable in two financial years.

Delaney's take:
If it's written that Juve pay out of the transfer fee then legally they ain't got a leg to stand on, I think it's not clear who's liable which is causing the delay, either way Raiola is rubbing his hands!The way I understand the Pogba situation is that it's not the normal ahents fee going to Raiola that utd are peeved about.
As I understand it, when Pogba signed for Juve, Raiola had a % built into the next transfer (away from juve) that would go directly to him (not his usual agents fee but a % of the transfer fee that juve would pay him.) Juve are insisting that United pay this but as it was built into the original contract that juve would pay, then clearly (and quite rightly) that is not something United feel they should be doing. I guess the way round this would be to pay the fee and write a similar clause into his United contract going forward.
That's your solution. United reward agent twice?I guess the way round this would be to pay the fee and write a similar clause into his United contract going forward.
