It would be a scandalous summer if we end up losing Pedro, Adama, Samper and Bartra (least likely) because of the stupid release clause that are set so low, we are basically invite others to take advantage of us.
Release clauses are the product of negotiations between club and players. Why would any player accept high release clause and low salary (and we can't play all our talented players big wages)? Do you believe in other teams UNPROVEN young players have high release clauses?
We should lobby RFEF to get rid of release clause altogether. Otherwise these low buyouts will turn La Masia into an incubator club for others. Again, what is stopping other clubs like Bayern etc. to pluck some of the best talents La Masia produces?
Barça could start showing faith in youngsters again instead of blaming other clubs for "poaching" their youth players.
