I read on a German forum, that he will have a 35 mil release clause next summer. Maybe we should secure him now like Liverpool did with Keita.
I bet he'll go to Bayern for something like 25M.
Stuttgart wont sell for less than the release clause, the "German clubs like to sell cheap to Bayern" meme is stupid.
There are reports that Bayern already has an agreement for 2019 with him to pay his clause tho.
But i thought his clause was 60M? The rumours say 35M to Bayern...so which one is right? There were strong rumours that Stuttgart won't sell for less than 60M this season, so i don't exactly see his release clause being just 35M, since it doesn't make any sense to demand 60M then. Let's face it, Bayern will get another great young talent from the Bundesliga under price and guarantee his signature one season early, if only our Board would be capable of doing the same with anyone ever...most recently De Ligt and De Jong for example.
It is stupid for Bundesliga clubs to have release clause in the contracts for players since it is not mandatory at all, especially when the release is this low. They are just inviting Bayern to raid them.
But if the players and their agent demand a realistic release clause in order to improve their bargaining power in negotiations, then what can they do.
