Seen this tactic many times before. Dembele is almost certainly entitled to the 25m legally, but the club has invented some technicality so that Dembele will essentially have to take legal action to get his money.
The reason they do is, is mainly hoping that the complainant thinks about the time and costs it would take to get his money and comes back offering to settle for a lower fee.
It's a dirty tactic for sure, but one must fight fire with fire at times.
No chance. He was only entitled to 25m if release clause was paid . Not personal clause.
Dumbele was too busy partying in Vegas to come and pay his clause.
