Chukwueze’s contract has a €40m release clause which enticed many European elite clubs for his signature but his new deal has seen his release clause increased from €40m to €100m.
It is claimed that the €100m release clause will be in place for the next two years before dropping to €80m in the third year, which would allow the player to move for less and reward his loyalty.
