Jamo Martinez
Player Valuation: £70m
Was there ever any doubt that they would meet the asking price once they'd asked to talk to him?It seems like such an odd way to go about it. So they havent bid the money to activate the release clause. But have agreed terms and everything already?
So dortmund allowed them to speak with him and do medicals etc without knowing they would meet the asking price?
I'm assuming it works the same in Germany as it does in Spain. If so, with a release clause, you don't bid. You have to deposit the stipulated price in the national FA with the appropriate paper work. If the player's agreeable to the move, he's yours. The FA then transfers the money to the selling club.
