I am eagerly anticipating the "melt-down" that will go down when he signs his new deal with no buy-out clause.

"Marotta should have added a buy-out clause!"
"This means Marotta will get low-balled and sell him for only 20 million!"
"He will leave this summer anyway!"
"His 7 million wage is half of what EPL clubs offer!"

In theory the release clause benefits only the player, as the club cannot refuse an offer matching the clause.

In practice, however, a very high release clause is used by the clubs to their advantage. Firstly, it deters other clubs from pursuing the player. Secondly, it is used in negotiations, where the club says to the player and the potential buyer: "look, this is the price that we agreed with the player and there is no way he could move for any less". And since the player has already accepted the valuation set in his release clause, the pressure is on the buyer to match it, and not on the seller to lower it.

The only question is if 150 mln is not a tad too low in today's market. On the other hand, if Dybala is worth 150 mln, we will have to renegotiate his contract anyway.

We shouldn't sell out from attack. We finally got what we lacked, but now we miss the physical presence in midfield. It was the other way around a couple of seasons ago.
Id love it if he stayed. But really, I only posted to underline how ridiculous it is to argue whether or not there should ve a 150m clause. If someone puts up that kind of money he is gone regardless.
