Omari 12:59 - May 20 with 2315 views | IPSWICHFANITFC | Does he have a release clause? I remember rumours of a £35m or £36m release clause (was it the Athletic who reported it?). Is there any truth in this figure? If it is true, as much as I think he's too good to play in the Championship next season, I can't see there being many clubs in a position to pay that type of money yet. |  |

Omari on 16:27 - May 21 with 1921 views | BlueBlood90 | £35m is obviously a lot of money to us but it's not a huge sum for established Premier League sides anymore, especially when it involves young English talents. I think he would be great for a team like Brighton or Crystal Palace but I really hope he'll stay. |  |

Feels that way, but it is actually a lot of money for half the clubs in the Premier League. It would be a new transfer record for Forest, Fulham, Brentford, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth. Brighton have spent that much once in their history, Wolves twice, Everton once. At £35m, for basically half the division he'd be their marquee signing for the Summer. [Post edited 21 May 18:02]

Eze to Newcastle or Arsenal and Hutchinson to Palace seems the most obvious. |  | |  |

I would say it's probably still on the edge of how far sides will go for a player with few actual goals and assists to his name |  |

I’m not sure it is these days. £40m last season seemed like the base for a decent PL player and given the tv money rolling in to established clubs I suspect it will be more than that this time around which means lesser lights/promising players’ value will also rise.. |  | |  |

There’s consistent inflation when it comes to transfer fees so I’m in general agreement but I still think if there’s a £35m clause and we won’t sell for a less there will be a bit of impasse as teams will consider getting better value elsewhere. Have a feeling someone might come in late in the window unless the any clause that might exist has got limitations on when it can be activated (which it it probably has) |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

11/20 Premier League clubs have never paid £40m for a player. Last Summer there were only 7 transfers over £40m. Massive stretch to say £40m is a middling fee for a decent PL player. |  |

Omari on 08:21 - May 22 with 851 views | Mark | I would think it standard that players would have relegation clauses to reduce their wages, and alongside that release clauses to give then a chance to return to the Premier League if a certain fee is met. I don't think Hutchinson has been so good that clubs would pay more than the £20m we reportedly paid for him, but the market is hard to predict. Wages need to be factored in too, as a player on lower wages may command a higher fee. |  | |  |

I think it's unlikely anyone triggers a release clause that's £35m or more. For context, Bournemouth have been linked and that's roughly what they paid for Evanilson last Summer, their record signing and a full Brazil international who had played and scored in the Champions League. If a club like that fancies him more likely we get tested with an offer in the region of £25-30m plus clauses. [Post edited 22 May 9:50]

The more I think about it, the more I think you are probably right. I love Omari but he's hardly ripped up trees numbers wise this season either and looks like he needs another season of development. People have been quite critical of Enciso's end product and decision making but he's got the same number of goal involvements in less than half the minutes Omari has played. |  | |  |

Interesting stat that. I guess if it is a £35m release clause, it doesn't rule out clubs as we've seen with Newcastle buying Harvey Barnes for £35m-£40m when Leicester got relegated and Spurs buying Maddison and Archie Gray for similar figures from Championship sides. The question is, what clubs would be prepared to pay it? In my opinion, Spurs, Palace, Newcastle and possibly Forest if they're looking to bolster their squad, would be the only clubs I could see take interest further. |  |

Yeah, I don't think it's totally out of the question that either (a) a middling Premier League club decides he's the one and is willing to pay over the odds for him or (b) one of the 8/9 clubs that do regularly pay that kind of fee decide he's that good. But I think those comparisons with Barnes and Maddison probably flatter Omari somewhat. Barnes' PL record when Newcastle paid £38m for him: 146 games, 35 goals, 25 assists. Maddison (£40m): 163 games, 43 goals, 34 assists. Archie Gray is a different case still, in that he was 18 rather than Omari's 21. |  |

Oh I agree, it does flatter Omari. That Leicester side on paper was much better than what happened and Barnes and Maddison were good PL players. I just meant in terms of PL clubs paying those type of fees for Championship players, it's not out of the question. |  |
