I understand what you're saying, but surely they can't sign a player without said player's consent, regardless of this clause?If Real Madrid want to sign him, he'll choose to sign for them, rather than choosing to sign for Valencia then waiting at least a season before signing for Real by which time they could've gone off him/changed their manager, etc.

Goes to a Real Madrid or Man City type team for far more than 12 million.If he ends up being that amazing, then he'll probaby probably be back at Valencia for 12m and they then sell him on for the bigger money. If they have a buy-back option, then we wouldn't be able to sell him on for more money without giving them the right to exercise their option first.

Has he definitely signed yet?
And that is where clubs get creative with sawps and structured deals though. Anyhow, lets hope he is good enough to worry about this!
We're a deserved favourite for the drop

They have an option to buy him back at 12m. If Real Madrid want him, and Villa say "that'll be 30m" and Real say OK, then legally, it'd be Valencia copping for anything over the 12m.
Seriously I'm baffled as to why the guy would want to sign for us to be honest. We're a deserved favourite for the drop, it's not as if we've been unlucky and some team will be on the end of a hiding??? The weight of expectation on him will be incredible, I'm sorry but unless he has some getout clause his agent wants shooting!
In any case, in such circumstances I reckon we could come to some arrangement with Valencia same as we did with West Brom when we sold Ehiogu to Middlesbrough.
