There is no release clause in the contract. Also, I dont really get this point. It wouldn’t have been much of a saga if Chelsea just paid the asking price Brighton set at the start of the summer. In fact, that would have ended up saving Chelsea some money lol
I really don’t know if him signing a new contract was the right play here.
Following the Caicedo saga one would think he did include the release clause in his contract.

Tbf it was essentially a 1 year extension which surely netted him more money
Idk anything about football negotiations, but in my mind there is absolutely 0 difference between a 2027 or 2028 contract when it comes to negotiating
