Real owns 2 stars with release fees of 1 billion euros

Not Gareth Bale, the second player after Cristiano Ronaldo to have a 1 billion euro release clause at Real is Karim Benzema.

9. Andres Iniesta (Barcelona, ​​release clause: 200 million euros):In addition to the Barca captain, some other stars such as Sergio Busquets, Gerard Pique, Luis Suarez, Casemiro or Sergio Ramos also have release clauses worth 200 million euros. Inter Milan had asked to buy the Spanish veteran in the summer transfer window this year but no agreement has been approved.

8. Neymar (Barcelona, ​​release clause: 222 million euros):If not for financial fair play rules, PSG would have owned Neymar in the summer transfer window last year by spending 222 million pounds to release the Brazilian star's contract.

7. Toni Kroos (Real Madrid, release clause: 300 million euros):The contract runs until 2022, along with a huge release fee, perhaps the German midfielder will stay with the Spanish Royal team for the rest of his career.

6. Lionel Messi (Barcelona, ​​release clause: 300 million euros): Messi has just signed a new contract until 2021 with Blaugrana, which includes a new contract release clause worth 300 million euros. In return, the Argentine superstar will receive a salary of 500,000 pounds per week (after tax).

5. Luka Modric (Real Madrid, release clause: 500 million euros):Modric shared that he wants to retire at Bernabeu and in reality, no club dares to spend 500 million euros to buy him back from Real Madrid.

4. James Rodriguez (Real Madrid, release clause: 500 million euros): The Colombian star is in a situation where he can neither leave nor stay. The media once reported that James was preparing to move to one of the two Premier League "giants" Chelsea or Man Utd, but everything is still just a rumor.

3. Gareth Bale (Real Madrid, release clause: 500 million euros): Spanish media reported that Real is selling the Welsh star for 100 million euros to raise money to recruit young star Kylian Mbappe from Monaco.

2. Karim Benzema (Real Madrid, release clause: 1 billion euros):Despite his inconsistent form, Benzema is one of two players with the most expensive release clause in the world. According to Transfermarkt, the French striker's current transfer value is £60 million.

1. Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid, release clause: 1 billion euros):Unlike Benzema with a "fun" release clause, Real Madrid had to use a built-in clause worth 1 billion euros to keep Ronaldo from the attention of Man Utd and PSG in this summer's transfer window.

Unlike a normal transfer fee, a release clause is used in cases where a team wants to buy a player but the player's parent club does not agree. For example, if Man Utd spend 1 billion euros, they will immediately have Cristiano Ronaldo without encountering any obstacles from CR7's parent club, Real Madrid.
