ignored? it was the buyout clause in the contract. buyern did the same thing with götze.
In spain you have to put a buyout clause in every contract, Barca did it, 222m is a crazy number, they never thought that someone is going to use that clause.
You cant really argue with Götze, we bought him for 37m, those two numbers can not be compared. Its strange that Dortmund´s slogan is "true love" and the bvb players put a outbuy clause in their contract, isnt it?

After years of tapping up players before signing them and then this summer trying to force a Verratti move (which P$G warned them not to) its hard to argue 'poor Barça' when the clause is met and its > 2x the prior world record
Its fact if the player and the buying club want to transfer the player, the selling club has really bad chances to keep him, its even harder if there is a clause.
Wasnt informed about the Verratti case in detail, its not nice if Barca did that.
IF Pogba is 10x m worth then tbh Neymar is indeed 222m worth... (Not saying that they are worth that money, just wanted to compare)
