Putting any buyout clause would be foolish, you're powerless if someone activates it.

It was interesting of Marotta to admit Nedved talked to Leornardo about Ibra, why wouldn't Marotta be doing that?

Deep down I think Marotta is a man of Elkann and Nedved is Andrea's man.
interesting read between the lines if you consider it nick
Conte dropping the foreign league bomb, on the same day marotta suggests with nedved-talks to leonardo about ibra.
something is gonna happen.
Marotta is in the boards pocket naturally, they limit what he can do, simply as that. Its not galliani who has nearly a free card from berlulsconi.
Then again, its one of the reasons we are so far ahead of milan

I just love how some people just need to create and promote "drama" in the team, even when things are going insanely well for us. Weird shit.
Yeah, seriously man, i hate this "conspiracy theory".
I'll tell you how it probably goes, Elkann is the financial boss, he leaves everything to agnelli, but he decides on the money. Marotta has strict rules about players he can sign, and knows very well what the board will accept and what not.
Conte tells the board the players he wants.
Patri scouts a bit in function of the team and generally interesting players
Marotta tries to find players that conte wants who are good value for money.
Thats how a less then 200mil teams slowly tries to build its way forward, competing with teams who had eighter a finished team(last year milan, napoli) or 300+mil turnover teams in europe.
If marotta could just go and sign what conte wants cause plenty of budged, he'd do it.
Conte is probably jelous of mourinho. "i want modric, sign him" and he gets signed. But he knows it will take a while before that can happen so he suggests and tells what players he wants
