Reportedly, the former Saint-Etienne star has a £52.6million (Dh272m) release clause and is valued at around the same amount.

The homegrown Mestalla academy graduate has featured in 10 first-team matches this term and is an Under-19 international for his country.
Torres has a contract with Valencia until 2021 and has a minimum release clause worth a hefty €100 million (Dh270m).

CHARLIE AUSTIN
Several Premier League sides could swoop for the Southampton hitman, should the St Mary’s Stadium club get relegated from the top-flight.
Mark Hughes’ men are in a precarious position in the bottom three, with 28-year-old Austin having recently returned to the forward line after missing several months of the campaign with a hamstring injury.
According to The Mirror, the ex-QPR frontman – who is the the Saints’ top goalscorer this term with six strikes – is on the radar of both Bournemouth and Leicester.
If Austin leaves, it might start a mass exodus at the South Coast outfit this summer.
Southampton are hoping Austin can fire the club out of trouble.
