Varane being sold? on 11:01 - Jun 21 with 1723 views | francisbowles | The point that is being largely overlooked is, it is extremely likely that his agent will have negotiated a release clause. So, if we receive an offer that matches it, 'the ball is firmly in the players court'. If this is the case, to here will be little or nothing the club can do if he decides to accept an offer. |  | |  |

100%, was just about to write the same. Varane will have signed the new contract no doubt partly because of an agreed release clause. His agent will obviously have inserted that sum and is now no doubt trying to entice enough clubs to bid (gardening leave for JV?) so that eventually that sum is triggered. I doubt it's £10 million - but who knows. Regardless, nice fees all round. That's fine. That's football. QPR definitely need to start selling players for five to ten times what they bought them for on a regular basis. That's how the club attracts more of these players in the first place and starts being able to charge more with each sale and insert higher release clauses. You can't do that if you hang on to players for too long. |  | |  |

WLS have said twice that the club is expected to reject the bids. So if there’s a release clause, it’s a bit odd that clubs aren’t offering the release price isn’t it. |  | |  |

I doubt there is a release clause: he is still a developing young player who has only had one decent season. A lot of the interest in him is happening after he signed a new contract. If he has a great next season then I’d expect his agent to be pushing for a new higher paid contract with a release clause though. He’s looking like a great signing so far. |  | |  |
Varane being sold? on 12:37 - Jun 21 with 1284 views | JamieNaz | Depends. With a release clause you can have lots of stuff in it, like it all being needed to pay up front, or the number of instalments it needs to be in. Arsenal are paying more for that Zubimendi fella because they're spreading the fee out longer than the release clause stipulates. We could have a release clause of 7 million, but they're offering it over a few years. If he has a release clause, his agent would likely be telling teams it if Varane is interested. I know that's what I'd be doing if I was in his situation. Equally, he might be really happy and have had some good discussions with the new manager! Just good to see our players have top level continental interest. Going on the right direction. Should have plans to reinvest if we do have to sell |  | |  |

Now wait a minute, Cifuentes was a cnt who we were well rid of because his agent was talking to other clubs, yet Varane’s agent is hawking him around Europe and he is a great little player who we should be keeping?…. I never thought you’d be a hypocrite Ned….. |  | |  |

I mean not that weird- say for arguments sake the clause is £5m. If you’ve been told by his agent that he wants to join you (and his agent wouldn’t be doing his job if he wasn’t telling every enquiring club that he’s desperate to join them to extract the biggest contract possible from the eventual buyer) why wouldn’t you try your luck at say £4m, then £4.25m etc etc. If you think you have it in the bag you have nothing to lose by trying to get a better deal. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Wasn't there also something with Suarez a few years ago where Arsenal met the release clause and Liverpool said "nah you're alright"? |  | |  |

Ah so you now have inside knowledge that Varane and his agents are pushing to join other clubs just after signing a new contract 😂 Your knowledge is incredible. Surprised you aren’t all over the WW3 thread telling us what is really happening behind the scenes in Iran, Israel or the USA. |  | |  |
