There is really no point in worrying about this. It's a shitty situation but hopefully it works out.

Yeah, we're talking about the same two-page agreement that Football Leaks leaked that was signed by Marotta, Morata, and Real's Jose Angel Sanchez.
Here it is:

Just search for "morata football leaks," and you'll find plenty of translations.
There aren't two different 80m clauses, just one. It states Juve would have to pay Real 80m if Juve sells Morata before July 16, 2017, which is when Real's option expires. It serves as a deterrent clause (deters Juve from selling Juve till that date unless we pay 80m) for Real and a termination clause (of Real's option) for Juve. So, basically just a deterrent clause.
I read the google translate version you posted, and I can see how it could be misinterpreted as it's hard to understand.

RM knows that we are a solid business partner and they gonna ruin relationships with us and force Alvaro out just too penny-pinch couple of millions more. It's just unreasonable. For example, if RM brings Alvaro back and sells him against his will in some circus EPL club like Arsenal for 50 mln while we offered 30+15+some-beppes-installements-tricks, it's gonna hurt clubs relationships, it's gonna hurt Alvaro (and all the RM players who might have considered repeating his path – loan somewhere with buyback chance would think twice), it's even gonna hurt RM – this Morata trick is very useful for RM, before that majority of the canterano kids just went nowhere, while this policy allows them at least make some money not to mention get back a full-calibre star for fixed sum.
But of course all the above mentioned could be relevant only if our offer is something like 2-4 mln less than some other club. Otherwise money talks and all this don't matter almost at all.
EDIT: it looks like I wasn't clear at the first place. I was talking of course about sum + 30 mln we would get from them in mind.

Good point about the market situation concerning other strikers in the market.
Obama certainly seems to be flavour of the month right now.
Higuain just had a season of his life.
Griezmann performing like a top 3 player this season.
All these strikers are certainly very gettable for big clubs.
Morata's season doesn't compare to them at all.Even perhaps Icardi had a better season statistically, another striker very gettable for big clubs.
Basically any club has to be desperate enough to splash €60M+ on Morata if they just look at his stats.So we do stand a good chance to retain him.

There's also Lukaku as well.

See what the Arsenal fans said about Morata to get a sense of Morata's hype and stature right now. Everyone knows his potential with performances like vs Bayern, but big clubs want more finished articles and less potential when it comes leading their attacks. And Morata in this market can be be bought for 50-60m simply because you can clubs like Man U who will just spend regardless of players development or impact. But most of them as you illustrated, have other options to consider besides Morata. Real will mainly get him becuase he is homegrown and good, or to sell him off later (I dont think immediately at all, he will stay a season with them if they buy back). Either way best case scenario is 50-60m offered by one of the EPL clubs when they cant get whoever thats their main choice most likely.
the point is Real want to cash 50m from Morata. So is it worth to spend that much to keep Morata as the sub of Mandzukic-Dybala?
I don't think so. He is fast and a decent dribbler but way too few goals.
I mean Zaza played half of what Morata did and scored almost them same ammount of goals.
Imo Juventus will cash those 30m and use them for Pjanic. At least this is what i hope they'll do without wasting them on Berardi a shittier version of Morata.
