The £40m clause allows a club to start the bidding process / discussion, If Bayern came in as well as RM. The fee could be nearer £50m in total.
are we able to turn down an offer of 40mil? Even if another team bids 50?
The only person that would bid £50m for a player that has a £40m buy out clause is currently unemployed!
£40m is the minimum (and maximum) offer that will
force our hand. That said, FSG and/or Suarez could over rule the clause and accept £30m if they wanted rid. Of course, if Suarez doesn't want to leave, then it doesnt matter how big or small an offer is made - he can't be forced to sign for another club.
