There’d be no point bidding more than the release clause - if the player chooses you, it doesn’t matter whether you’ve bid the actual release clause or £20m more. You’d be better served saving that money for a higher signing on fee and salary for the player to beat off your rivals.

The low release clause does make it a lot more likely that we are interested. Didnmt know he had that and thought he’d be going for a lot more. The low price, Welbeck’s injury and age, Ferguson’s form and need for game time to be managed and Fati only being on loan mean it is suddenly quite an...
