    Talk about him signing a contract but with a £30m release clause.

    In a way sounds a bit *, but then again if that can only be sanctioned after say next season, if not then * that, might as well keep him on his current contract.

    30 mill is too low..

    We should never be going for a 30 mill release clause..

    The release clause is second to the sell on clause.

    More clubs should insist on 25% or more. Buying clubs might not be keen but clubs like Celtic know they are being short changed.

    Clubs at the bottom need the cash to filter down. I'm sure those we bought wanyama, VVD , etc from could have done with a cash windfall.

    Could easy get another 10m on top of that, but if him going for 30m means we get another season out him then I'd rather that than the extra 10.

    Could be the difference between champions league and europa league.

    Only if, like you say, it can only be sanctioned in June 2022. Ut it should have a sell on clause on top. I think he would go for £40 to 50m otherwise.

    A 30M release clause does not mean he has to leave for 30M.
    He stays for 10 and then leaves. So a club will come in and bid 30M.
    Then other clubs will bid more.
    Regardless, stay for 10 and get 30M, I would take this all day long.

    Or they bid £30m as well and just offer him the highest wage.

    They wont bid more. They'll bid the same and fight it out with the other teams to win his signature

    There can't be a bidding war if we've got a release clause..

    IF he signs a new deal with a 30 mill release clause then that's what he'll go for. It'll be his choice of club and how much wages on offer that him and his agent will choose from..

    Gate money means very little to the types of clubs that should be interested in him. I.e. ones in the big leagues with hundreds of millions of multimedia revenue.

    If he stayed to deliver the 10, he'd be an absolute hero, remembered more fondly than any of the other stars who have left for big money (with the exception of Forster if he comes back)

    People will laugh at this but it may actually make it easier to get another year out of him..

    Our season could go well in to the summer..

    He was possibly due to play for the French side at the Olympics but with the Euro's likely to be cancelled then that will also..

    I'd be offering anything he wants right now. Like a wee room of Crystal maze just swirling notes about in his isolation room..

    Use the uncertainty, a big bump in wages may be enough in this climate..

    Give him what he wants with the promise of not standing in his way should a big offer materialise, everyone's a winner.
