Sounds like Pedri is being advised by Kane's brother!
PSG will put in a bid for him next year.

I didn't think release clauses were really relevant in Spanish football, hence why they are as high as they are. Very little clubs pay attention to them and not many clubs end up activating a release clause unless it's reasonable for the player.

United won't be bidding until he's in his mid 30's.
I know this is nothing new for Barca and Real but out of interest what sort of release fees do the other clubs in La Liga include for their top players?
Sounds like a great deal for Pedri to me...
He's just 18. Where better to learn your trade than playing in La Liga for Barca at a time you're a pretty much guaranteed playing time. It's a 5 year deal, so in 3 years they will need to renegotiate or risk losing him for peanuts. If he turns out to be something special, he will have all the power at 21 (nothing like Kane at all)! If he turns out to be a flash in the pan, he's guaranteed himself fat paychecks for the next 5 years.
Great deal for the lad. The release clause is sensationalized but means nothing!
Pedri's new wage deal will be linked to that release clause.
It'll be hilarious if they're forced to sell him in a couple of years time and he still wants his full cut.
Not sure people understand what a release clause is? It's a set amount that if put up means the selling club (in this case Barca) has no option but to allow their player to negotiate with the buying club.
Barca could still sell Pedro for 20 quid of they had to or wanted to

It’s actually the amount the player has to pay to release him from his contract.

I think he means that the release clause is a force majeure if met, but not the fixed price in a negotiated transfer.

I think some people do believe that's the case. Why else would they be to shocked at silly figures like 1b euros etc. In Spain release clauses are mandatory and in certain circumstances they just set an arbitrary amount which lets them set their real asking price at the time the player is potentially moving (be it 2m or 200m). By setting an incredibly high one you essentially tick the box while at the same time keeping as much power as an English club would have over their players
Weirdly, some people seem to not understand this...
It is crazy he cant move now for anything less than a billion

Don’t see how this is a bad thing for Pedri.
Worst case scenario things don’t improve at Barca and his current deal expires when he’s only 23.

I don't know anyone who doesn't understand how a release clause works. I just think that in this case, if I were Pedri I'd not be agreeing to such a high figure. Barca are in £1bn worth of debt. They have to agree a release fee with Pedri, so why would you let it be so high when they are in such a tough position at the moment? A lot can happen in 5 years and Barca could struggle to compete at the top level for some time whilst they try to get the club back on an even keel. I'd have been looking for a more realistic release fee myself given the current state of the club.

Yes but it's like saying why would any young player sign a new contract with any club without a release clause. Why would Saka sign with Arsenal, Greenwood with United etc when Man City, Chelsea or Liverpool are in a far better position to challenge.
It's no different to signing a contract without a release clause which most players do outside of Spain. Like you said,
As you mentioned, Barca are in financial trouble. So in reality he's in fact more likely to get a move away should he want to be sold later down the line because the club needs cash more than ever.
