Jay Rodriguez could leave West Bromwich Albion this summer for just £5 million due to a release clause inserted last year.

Rodriguez is available for the cut-price fee, which will rise to £10m after 12 months, after striking an agreement with the Championship club last summer.

Following West Brom’s relegation from the Premier League, Rodriguez was happy to give the club one more year in a bid to help Albion achieve promotion out of the Championship.

Burnley made offers of up to £16m for the England international but West Brom resisted the bids and agreed a compromise with the striker that he could leave this year if the club failed to get promoted.

The clause was also inserted by Albion’s hierarchy in good faith due to Rodriguez’s professional behaviour last summer, at a time when other players were demanding to leave. Ben Foster and Craig Dawson even refused to fly out for a warm-weather training camp in pre-season.
