£20m buyout for Rafael.
Can safely file that under 'not happening'.
Simply not true. Various papers are reporting "over 20m","well over 20m","close to 20m", "around 20m". They don't actually know the buyout clause.
They're just putting 2 and 2 together. His contract is 12m per year x2, so that must be his buyout clause. That's there way of thinking.
Dalian aren't losing anything letting Rafael out early, it's not like they paid 2 years in advance, so a get out early clause will be a lot lower than his actual contract, we know Rafael had a clause put in so he could leave at the end of the season if a Premier League club wanted him, he's an astute man, he's not going to banjax himself.
Also it states that Arsenal aren't willing to pay the buyout clause for Rodgers, they haven't even approached anyone yet. So that's bullshit.
