    With a £20 million yes you heard right £20 million buy out clause in his contract. If that's right either Conway and Lee have gone mad or we are about to be taken over by some properly rich people. That figure can't be right surely.

    No chance he’s got that in his contract.

    Seems bizarre, maybe they are hoping to put him in the shop window whilst he's over here in england. Suppose the club aren't lying there may well be an option to buy, we certainly won't be buying tho

    Its farfetched, but if the unthinkable happened and we were promoted- 20 million is probably about right.

    Its not going to happen, but could be the reasoning behind it

    Dike. Singular. If we buy him in the summer, we'll only be buying one of him.

    It was probably installed in his contract a while back, and Orlando know they’re never going to get that figure now. Not a big deal.

    So we've got the option to buy him in the same way that I've got the option to woo Scarlett Johanssen?

    TBF Orlando Sentinel have reported it too.
    Just can’t see it one decent season, only 5 Americans have ever cost over £10million and only Pulsic over the £20(we’ll over).

    "The deal will include an option for Barnsley to buy Dike from the Lions. The current option is priced at $20 million for 80% of Dike’s rights, according to a league source."

    The Orlando Sentinel reported this in an article now blocked in Europe. I'm sure some people have VPNs and can see it though.

    The 80% thing is effectively a 20% sell on clause. As others have said though, I assume we've no actual intention of buying.

    Aren't all players contracts owned by the league over there and not the club?
