However, his current manager appears obl🍌ivious to t💙his apparent clause. 

Spea𝔍king after the Royals defeated Luton Town this weekend, Veljko Paunovic made it clear that he had no knowledge of such a low release clause. 

“No, I’m not aware of it,” Paunovic“The most important thing for Michael is💜 that he has found a place where he is being protected, supported, playing games more than ever, and is being given opportunities.

“Every single player is exposed⛎ to the market and to the teams that have needs so somebody may pull the t♛rigger.

“Are we going to be affected by that? It is possible, but I am confident and I am working with ꦯhim o🌼n a long-term [basis].”

Now it could be the Reading boss has not been made aware of such a clause. But if accurate, then Tottenham and Leeds will need to stump up much more than £8 million.⛦

Both clubs will be hoping that Paunovic 🍰is simply not party to the release clause information in his player’s contracts. But that seems an unlikely scenario.
