Football Manager 2017: 15 Release Clause Bargains You Need To Exploit

1. Fran Villalba

FOOTBALL MANAGER 2017 RELEASE CLAUSES
SI Games

Release Clause: £3.5m

No other FM 2017 player embodies the idea of long-term value for money like Fran Villalba. Currently relaxing in Valencia's reserves, he's a genuine wonderkid who becomes one of the world's best technicians after a few seasons, and for that, you can't argue with £3.5m.

Villalba is 18, and the type of player who likely needs immediate first team football to maximise his potential. You may have to loan him out to accommodate this, but you'll be thankful you did when this guy is named on the 2020 Ballon d'Or shortlist.
