Intriguing hypothetical but if we bid £70 million for Mbeumo and United can only offer £60 million, how much of a factor does the player agreeing wages with either club come into things.

Assuming United could offer £300,000 per week and we would only offer £200,00 per week who's got the go ahead for the green light?
Has to be agreed by both player and club. If Mbeumo only wants Utd, Brentford either have to accept the offer or prevent Mbeumo from leaving.
 
LOL..... The whole point of a release clause is that it's straight forward.

It's either triggered or not.

Spanish and Portuguese release clauses have previously been complicated as hell. There’s been tax implications, admin fees (in the millions), then there’s the agent fees, how the fee is paid, player sponsorship/other parties involved etc etc etc. Given multiple sources have stated Eze’s release clause conditions are complicated then it’s highly unlikely it’s just a case of pay the fee.
 
With Tel, we have too many wingers to likely fit into our European squad:
Son, Tel, Odobert, Solomon, Johnson, Kulusevski.

Solomon got 10 goals 12 assists in the Championship, and Frank reportedly wants to keep him... but I'm not sure he's PL level.

The simplicity (ought to) lay in the fact that it's all in writing... No drawn out negotiations required.
