Somewhere they are mandatory, like say in Spain and Portugal, somewhere they have been present for a long time, like say in Italy, where the transfer amounts for the competition from Serie A and clubs from other countries sometimes differ. As expected, the Italians were the first to introduce another novelty into the world of football: the anti-Saudi clause.The media on the “Boot” write that the controversial, although cunning manager of Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis, realized that everything that was valid until yesterday is not valid now. Clubs from Saudi Arabia have unlimited budgets at their disposal and even transfers that seemed unthinkable until this summer are now almost commonplace.##NAJAVA_MECA_7414044##Therefore, the completely original request of De Laurentiis during the negotiations on a new contract for the first star of Napoli Victor Osimhen. De Laurentiis told the Nigerian forward’s agent that he wanted to insert two exit clauses into the contract. One that will be valid for the Saudis, and the other for the rest of the world. And of course, it will be twice as big for the Saudis.With the fact that he has not yet agreed on the amount of the ‘basic’ one, because the managers want it to be set at 110,000,000 euros, and De Laurentiis wants to protect himself by raising it to 150,000,000.Now, imagine if his plan worked. For the Saudis, therefore, the price for Osimhen would be in the range of 220,000,000 to 300,000,000 euros. The question is whether that would repel the sheiks from the Middle East, but there is no doubt they will think about it.Osimhen resisting the unreal wage proposal from Saudi ArabiaThis idea of De Laurentiis is no surprise. Just yesterday, information appeared that Al Hilal was seriously interested in Osimhen and that they are prepared to pay him close to one million euros per week. 52,000,000 annually. Napoli cannot defend themselves against that, but they can try to protect themselves with this clause.If it succeeds, we have no doubt that others will follow suit, because European clubs are clearly ‘under attack’.
