Liverpool star Roberto Firmino is reportedly prohibited from joining Arsenal due to a clause in his Anfield contract. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur have denied claims of a low release clause in Toby Alderweireld's contract.
The speculation of both accounts surfaced after Belgian daily Le Soir (h/t Dan Gibbs of the Daily Express) published details from the latest instalment from whistleblowing website Football Leaks. Kristof Terreur of Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws confirmed the leak:
#footballeaks in @Lesoir:
u2705 Firmino has a €98m clause that can't be triggered by #AFC
u2705 Atlético get 250k every time Agüero scores 15 goals.
