"Starting this past summer, I have a minimum release fee clause of €28 million but last winter I received an offer from China where i would have earned an incredible amount of money. However, Napoli did not want to let me go and I did not want to leave" Mertens revealed.
The Napoli striker was asked what he would do if the same situation where to arise again replying that: "This is why I wanted a minimum release fee clause in my new contract, €28 million is not a lot of money for a Chinese club even though it is a nice sum for Napoli."
Mertens then concluded that things have changed following the World record transfe rof Neymar ro PSg: "This was the case until Neymar left Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain because now €28 million is nothing. I would be a steal for any club because where do you find a player who scores 28 goals in the Serie A and who only costs €28 million. Nowhere, no."
