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.
Release clause is apparently at 35M. The 60M were the speculated price for this summer.
The clause might be a bit low but tbh its still good money and i guess nobody expected him to get focused by big clubs that fast. Signed when they were 2nd division, then extended last December i don't remember anyone worrying about release clauses back then or thinking about a transfer to a top 10 club.
Would agree that German clubs need to be more careful tho, everything is going too fast these days with young players. But i guess often enough its necessary to keep the player, Schalke loses one young good player after another for example. Keeping talents isn't easy. Still should have gone for more, just to be safe.
