I'm as upset, as anyone about this transfer. But i think this is a bit over the top.
I'd assume most of the players has the release clause in the contract. Neymar was bought activating his, i doubt Barca was looking for profit there. And iirc, Messi had a clause in his contract, that was like 500mil. It has risen since then, bit it is still there. So i'd say this is standard practice. We might question if the release clause in high enough tho.
And i don't think we will make any money of the free transfers. Like we made 0 profit with Llorente, Pirlo, Dani Alves. And will probably make 0 profit from Khedira.
