Dries Mertens’ new Napoli contract will reportedly include a €28m release clause that is only valid for abroad.
New details are emerging about the deal, with Gazzetta dello Sport suggesting that the Belgian has agreed to the inclusion of the buyout fee.
By only making these clauses valid for abroad it avoids a situation similar to when Gonzalo Higuain was purchased by Juventus last summer, with nothing Napoli could have done to refuse.
