It won't happen quickly. Real know there is a clause and, by the sounds of things, they have already spoken to agreed terms with Suarez and his agent, so they can gt their man whenever they want. In the mean time, they will try alternative offers to try and get him cheaper. Real are not in a rush to sign him as the season is a couple of months away. The only way it changes is if another club activate the clause but then that still depends on Suarez and his agent.
That was suggested yesterday. If it can be proved then of course they can, maybe add to the transfer fee then?
Behave. It happens in virtually every big name transfer under taken these days. The club contacts the players representatives & ensures that there's both interest & an 'in principal' agreement on terms, before even speaking to the owning club. It's wrong, but it's the way it is.
Surely if a release clause is activated, it doesn't necessarily mean that only one club can proceed to purchase the player? i.e. if Real Madrid come with an offer of £40m, who's to say that Bayern can't come in with an offer of £45m, if they think that still represents good value? ****, they're talking £70m for Bale, so I would hope that Luis would go for more than his release clause value, particularly if Real don't get their hands on Bale. Or have I missed something? GKRK

If a release clause is activated then any club that matches it could in theory speak to the player. So if you knew what the amount was, why would you pay 1p more? Any potential bidding war would be around the players wages not the fee.
Madrid like to sign players before a new manager takes over who might not want the player - sometimes they call it a welcoming present for the new manager - all they are doing is trying to put themselves in the spotlight with the fans for bringing in a top player
It doesn't restrict it to one club but there is no reason why a club would bid more in an attempt to outbid the other since Liverpool would be obliged to accept them all. More than one club coming in for him wouldn't effect Liverpool (no club is going to bid more than £40m if that is the release clause), it would only effect negotiations for Suarez and his agent.
