I wasn't aware a limit had been put on loaning players out. Hope it will put a stop to clubs hogging the market. Why are buy-back transfer clauses on the rise in football? - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cn492y9p3kgo
Quite complicated! So does that mean that if we bought a player from Liverpool for example and they had a buyback clause, we'd be obliged to sell him back if they bid a certain amount? Or just that if another club made a bid which we accepted, we'd be obliged to inform the original club and sell to them if they matched the bid?
Think it just happened to Villa who had to buy someone back and then he went straight out again. Can’t remember the name though.
I read the original article, but it still wasn't clear to me in exactly which situations it could be enforced. I'm guessing that each individual deal has its own nuances. The one posted about the Philogene situation is a bit clearer.
Yeah, mate. The fee is predetermined. So say we bought Salah for 10 million, Liverpool would say we want a buy back that goes into play after a year has passed for 25million. Wed have to accept the 25 mill from Liverpool, but could reject it from Chelsea (unless its player contract specific that any club has same offer), so we could reject Chelsea and they could offer us 50 million, we'd accept that and it'd be down to player choice then, nothing to force the player himself to rejoin Liverpool if he wanted Chelsea. If that makes sense
Man City have done it for years. Lavia, Douglas Luiz, Bazunu, Porro, Angelino etc all supposedly had buy backs
I think this was a good article and was gonna post earlier. I think we could revolutionise football when we introduce the sell back clause.
