Top Ten Release Clauses in Portuguese Football
Anytime I’m able to talk about Porto’s Hulk seems like a good enough reason to make a post. Here at the top ten release clauses in Portuguese football. With Hulk having a €100 million buyout clauses which ensures Porto holds the hammer when it’s time for the player to be sold. Of course most of these players will one day be sold for far less but it’s still interesting to see. Must admit it gave me a laugh seeing Ariza Makukula with a 40 million buy out clause. Don’t expect to see anyone trigger that anytime soon.
