Get off your moral high horse and stop preaching and lecturing, Temptation. With certain players and a certain club, I don't mask my wishes.

City please do us a favor and tell Laporta & Co. to pay 20m or so for a loan or to get the fuck out. Please. You owe us several.

Better than 25m, better than zero but what a club we have here, run by imbeciles.

Yes, this makes more sense. Still an idiotic clause. Crazy.

L'Equipe, PSG, Madrid, shabis that deserve to burn in hell together.

I am happy the two fuckface Dembele and Sissoko are gone. I wish Dembele eternal injuries. Now I don't mind Alemany leaving too. Aston Villa are you still hiring?

So IF the latest report is true, then it looks like Dembele left two options for the club: (1) Someone to trigger the 50m release clause by end of day July 31st, 2023 (2) Someone to send Barça a letter of intent or whatever to buy him before end of day July 31st, 2023 and the club has to agree...

The problem of Dembele leaving is three-fold: (1) We lost our starting RW and one of our most creative players (2) Our reputation took another hit as we are being taken advantage of yet again, another player wanted to leave to go to another club, and a lesser club if you will (3) Through this...

If what was reported is true, then yes, this club is officially club lunatics. From Bartomeu to Laporta, kowtowing to players is a club trait.

So you are saying this "private clause" in Dembele's contract gives PSG two options, either buying him for the 50m which is set by the release clause, or for a different price Barça and PSG agree upon? If so, then this clause is giving PSG more power, because they could say, no, we don't want to...

So in your opinion why did PSG choose to send the letter, instead of triggering the release clause formally?

Agreed if the release clause is set for something like 500m or 1 billion etc. which is very unlikely to be triggered, having this sort of "private clause" in the contract doesn't hurt much. However in Dembele's case, it is stupid to have it because it evades the formal process of the release...

So this "private clause" was inserted into Dembele's contract last summer that another club can just send a letter and by doing so he can be bought for 50m, with similar but more favorable terms for the buying club? If true, there must be some true idiots running the club.

What is the "another way"? Did they trigger the release clause or not? Are you saying this letter is the first step of triggering the release clause or an entirely different thing? If it is entirely different, I don't get how it is allowed, basically rendering the release clause useless and...

What do you mean wrong? If PSG didn't trigger the release clause and they just sent some sort of magical letter with a magical "private clause" which gives PSG more power and better terms than what the release clause would have brought, what is the point of release clauses then? This magic...

They sent a letter and it nullified the release clause and hence put them in a dictating position? Wow, what kind of letter was it and why did UEFA and FIFA even allow this sort of bullshit?

It makes no sense that this "private clause", whatever it means, allows better terms for the buying club (PSG in this case) and the player and his agent than what a release clause brings while the selling club's interest is further harmed and is powerless to do anything about it. Basically PSG...

If that is the case, why didn't PSG just trigger the release clause? They had ample time to do it.

What the heck is a private clause? I am just worried that this could be used in the future against the club on other occasions when the club is powerless to stop this sort of shenanigans from being pulled by other clubs. It is what it is, while 50m is not ideal, it is better than 25m. Just get...
