I'm sure it's just a case of bad wording... But BBC article I'm reading right now says that "Kepa has paid his £71million release clause". Surely Chelsea paid for Kepa's release, not Kepa himself. No one would pay to play for Chelsea... At least not that much.

I think release clauses work in a funny way like the players pays to get out of then contract then the buying clubs pay the player. Might be wrong though

That's how I understand it.
Neymar for example paid his release clause to Barca and then PSG paid Neymar the £200m, in theory. What will actually happen is the buying club will loan the player the money in order to make it look like they player 'bought' himself out of the contract.

Frankly its ridiculous

I like JB too
told you I like you all - thats why I hang around.
Took me ages to get used to Tobes - even had him on ignore for a bit as he was driving me potty but he is not a bad egg really :)

In fact on some special occasions he has been known to speak sense :) imho
