Sport says according to L'Equipe Nice said the 40m "release clause" expired on July 15th and they now want more than 40m and the transfer could be more difficult.

Cadena SER reported earlier that representatives from Nice informed them that the verbal agreement has not expired.

There is no release or buyout clause in France. Even if he has one, it cannot be enforced as it's legally not allowed in France.
So Nice can still reject to sell him, just like Liverpool did when Arsenal activated Suarez's release clause in 2013.
But they won't be dickheads and will allow him to leave if someone pays 40m for him.

Why is there a clause as everybody reporting. French league legally doesn't have a clause. If someone has a verbal agreement, then a expire date on it doesn't make any sense nor you can do cause it needs to be in writing.
I'm kinda confused now. Am I stupid or the journos are?

It seems that we always try to negotiate the player first before we negotiate with the selling club. Not nice and not effective.
Since people have been wondering about the clause, I am quoting myself explaining Nice's clauses. They have no legal value but the fact that they are done at a notary leave a trace that a verbal agreement would not. I read l'equipe on paper and I visit their website several times a day and they have not mentioned any expiration of said clause. Also, given how Riviere wants to make those clauses legal in France, I'd doubt he'd put an expiration date on one of them because it would make his rhetoric moot. I'd think, if a date was involved, that it would be a renegotiation date since a player's value can vastly fluctuate with time and performances.
Yes it is very weird and ineffective indeed. All news point to the fact that an agreement with the player is close, but that isnt the main problem. Nice keeps saying so far that we have not even contacted them yet.

Why the hell are the french media talking about release clauses and expiry dates when release clauses are illegal in france? Are they stupid or something?
It's clearly a verbal agreement.

Just sign the damn guy asap.
If we get him + Coutinho and Dembele, I think that we'll be able to enjoy some nice football this season.

When they say nice sources do they mean they are from nice or they are nice people?

I think its a dick move to blackball a club like nice after hitting jackpot with Neymar. Just pay the 40m.
