Was having a browse about the football sites at work today and came across this article at Marca. I'm not one for buying into this muppet business but he's 16 and has a 50m euro release clause, apparently exceeding that of Neymar (45m). Mental :eek:

There's a video of him in the Marca link. He must be one of those players who develop earlier than the rest of them. His turn of speed in some scenes is incredible.

Predictably, City have already sounded Santos out about signing him. Barcelona too.

Wears #7 in this clip
 
You can put whatever release clause you like into player's contract, I could sign myself up for a third division side from Faro Islands tomorrow and declare myself worth £1bn by putting relevant clause in my contract.

Are they really that backwards in the Faroes that they let players write their own contracts? :confused:

What he's saying is that release clauses is not the same thing as the actual value. It says something about an expected value for the future or a protection against clubs built out of money.

Sometimes it's just for show too, a figure pulled completely out of the air - like Ronaldinho at €200m. Andrade could be a great player but the release clause isn't really any indication of it, IMO.
