Barcelona's financial director Pancho Schroder believes a rival club might be willing to meet Lionel Messi's £625 million release clause.
Speaking to Sky Sports News at a Finance in Sport event in London, Schroder suggested Neymar's shock move to Paris Saint-Germain for £200 million meant high release clauses no longer guarantee players won't leave.
"We set up a clause which we think is enough to have Messi retire at FC Barcelona," he said, per Sky Sports. "But having said that, we thought a year ago that the clause for Neymar was also good enough to retain the player, and that proved last summer not to be the case.
