Just read that we are interested in signing Benfica's 18 yr old midfielder Rafael Brito.

He has a release clause in his contract of £38m. Surely that's a lot of money for an 18 year old. Is he that highly rated? Apparently Real Madrid and Barcelona are also interested.

We wouldn’t pay his release clause.

I would hope not, SR, but I know very little about the lad.

I've done a little reading up on him and he hasn't even played for the first team yet, and apparently, as soon as he plays for the senior team, his release clause will go up.

I don't even know where this has originated from. I'm presuming the Portuguese media are to blame.
