the terms of his contract were similar to:
"If another club bids £1.5 million we are obliged to allow you to leave, if you wish."

I can't see how any release clause would be worded very differently. And the new contract we offered him a) would have upped his personal terms and may have b) done away with the release clause or raised it.
