I appreciate it's great news for Durans new deal. I doubt we will ever know the details, however one thing for sure the club are going to be protected with the buy out clause which has to be in excess of £60 million. Unfortunately now if any clubs want to trigger it, it will probably mean he is continuing to improve his quality. I really hope he continues to flourish with us over the next six years, however he has shown when he is not happy he let's everyone know and that's always going to be a concern.

Personally I feel as though Ollie will go in the summer now as he's got to have assurances about playing more regular football that's just my opinion if we are lucky enough to get 60 million for Ollie in the summer

I haven’t read anywhere about a release clause, where did you see it Scot?

Whack, read this from a journalist close to Chelsea and I understand most contracts in these circumstances contain release clauses, it can work for both parties.

"I am not saying this will happen with case in subject Jhon Duran by the way, but I’d not be at all surprised if the new contract he has just agreed with Aston Villa contains some kind of break or release clause in it. Or at least some kind of agreement to let him leave the club down the line.

As we know, Chelsea have had very public interest in Duran recently, and I won't expect a new contract would put them off if they still wanted to try and sign him in the near future "

As far as I've seen, there's only one highly speculative article from a Chelsea linked journalist and the quote is that he'd 'be shocked if there isn't a clause' which implies it's nothing more than a guess. Wouldn't be surprised if it's a good guess mind, but at this point it's complete specualtion so wouldn't give it any attention for now. It's all about asset protection and it's nice to see the club being proactive.

What a load of nonsense! What circumstances?

Take this as you will but someone who’s related to someone who knows Olly has said that Ollie doesn’t want to leave, has never asked to leave, the only ‘circumstance’ in which he could leave is if Villa were offered £100M for him, so I’m assuming that Ollie/Villa have that as a release clause ??‍♂️
