We’re selling Saliba then?
Well, one would think we’re future proofing the team in case of such scenario.
Either way, Madrid getting Dean is the preferred scenario. All we gotta do now is extend Saliba. This development certainly helps us doing so.

I’d love us to future proof our attack if that’s the case.
Gyokeres, a super talented young striker (I can’t think of one lol), Rodrygo and another young super talented versatile attacker. 
This guy has an English first name
Dutch surname
Plays for the Spanish national team.
Confused
That’s what got me on the wrong track lol
Was sure he was either english or belgian/dutch… Then I saw the spain shirt in that tweet above for the first time lol

Little digging says he was born to Dutch parents but raised in Spain, son of a former footballer.
Former footballer turned drug dealer.
Well you’re right, he is one of those.
I don’t want a bloke called Dean playing for my club.

You’re such a snob @JakeyBoy 
We have plenty of Dean’s in Essex and we should be supportive!
Every time I see the name Dean, there’s only one image that conjures up, a cunt. Known to dress in black.
This is done.

Release clause not being paid up front. Huh? Why would Bournemouth accept that?
All we need now is for Konate to run down the rest of his deal and go to Madrid next summer, while Saliba reups with us.
Probably because there’s a load of additional clauses and a weighty sell-on clause in return for RM paying the release clause in installments. If he does well in Madrid, Bournemouth will be earning out of this transfer for years to come and fair play to them.
There isn’t a greater illustration of how badly a once well run club (Juventus) have fallen than this transfer.
Sold for peanuts, spent the same money on Lloyd fucking Kelly. The guy they sold is now one of Europe’s hottest properties and is going for three times what they sold him for after 12 months whilst Lloyd Kelly is the injury prone replacement they’ll be lucky to break even on lol.

Didn’t even say here we go. Request rejected.

Probably because it’s within the terms of whatever the actual clause is.
Release Clause is just useful shorthand and we naturally equate it to what it means in Spanish football.
