Lionel Messi's £625m release clause might not put off Barcelona star's suitors, says Pancho Schroder.

Barcelona's financial and strategy director Pancho Schroder would not be surprised if a rival club was tempted to pay the £625m release clause in Lionel Messi's contract.

Messi signed a new deal last November but Schroder feels Neymar's world-record departure for Paris Saint-Germain a few months earlier shows anything can happen in the world of football transfers.
