That would be Traore and his agent. I'm sure they are happyNo sell on. I hope the guy who put a 18mil clause in is happy

If they met the buy out clause fee I donāt think we could negotiate a sell on clause....not sure like?
āOne guyā doesnāt put something in a contract of this size and scale. Itās discussed by a team of individuals from both sides, and agreed by all. Ā£18m was the result of that discussion in 2017. Traore probably wanted it to be lower, Boro probably wanted it to be higher. It was probably one of a number of sticking points that could have derailed the whole deal.
Boro probably didn't want it in there at all.
Traore, and all players, want their release clause as low as possible.
We will never know the importance of the Ā£18million clause.
If it was the difference between him staying at Villa and joining us, we were right to agree to it.
My understanding too.
We would not have had the option of agreeing such a clause
What Iām certain of though is that one bloke (agent, player, whoever) didnāt just insert it without anyone knowing or noticing.
Agreed.
I suspect it was essential to the deal happening at all.
And its a vain hope that we've slipped in a clause that Wolves didn't read properly too.
Of course it's discussed, it's part of the negotiation, the only party who'd want the clause is the player/agent.āOne guyā doesnāt put something in a contract of this size and scale.

Rob if we sold him for less than his release then maybe there could be a sell on, we can but hopeHe was bought for Ā£15.5m by Wolves and that was that.
Fair enoughThat was the release price.
My understanding too.

The Gazette were speculating at the time that his buy out clause was Ā£18M upfront but Wolves were paying Ā£21-22M (above the clause) to allow for it to be paid in installments. If this was the case you'd hope that a sell on could have been inserted, but who knows. The paper certainly have not talked about anything like this since, and often get the wrong end of the stick, so it could be a load of b***ks.
