Jarrell's Quansong

[binomial]

I mean, this has been done before and yes, there are numerous examples from Real Madrid.

I think City had one on Lavia and choose not to trigger it when he went to Chelsea.

I think it’s a risk free move - if the player develops enough to warrant a starting place at Liverpool, then we’ve negotiated a “fair” price which is under what Leverkusen could likely ask for.

If he doesn’t, we’ve banked a good fee.

There’s no downside to the structure of this deal at all.

Name 1 that's worked out? So far all you've done is name 1 that never materialised.

Well if Quansah does well, why would he want to come back in a year or two and play for Slot, who froze him out unceremoniously in the first place? If it's a loan then it's a different thing, but he's gone, and regardless of first options, it's down to the player if he wants to return or move to whoever else is offering money for him.

If he does well & Bayern, for example, are after him for €100M, can we exercise the buy back clause & then sell him immediately to Bayern and make an easy 40M?

RM did exactly that with someone. I'm not sure if the 'Buy Back' is binding on the player as well as the buying club. I would assume it is otherwise it's worthless. So Quansah must also be a party to that agreement and he'd have no option but to comply if we exercised it.

All it does is provide a fixed fee if club and player want to reunite.

It's worked well for Real because they have that pull that no other club seems to have.

 

[Frogfish]

Yeah, the way the market is going, if he achieved the potential we (well some of us) think he's capable of, then in 3-5 years 60M will be a bargain

Cough. Euros not GBP !

And Dreamy gets his buy back wish

It’s great move all round. Excellent business.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Good question, don't think we've ever sold anyone with a buy-back clause that actually was worth buying back.
Will be interesting to see how Sepp and Quansah do in the next few years though.

Sepp is fucking rubbish.

So it's worked out successfully a grand total of twice for the same club?

& the buy black clauses back then for these 2 players were 5-6m euros......if we were selling the cunt for £5m with a buy back of £10m, then I'd maybe understand it...but what are the chances right now we'll sign Quansah in a few years for 50-55m? Close to zero as you can get. Would've made far more sense sticking a sell on clause in there instead because the probability of him being moved back to the Prem for £20-30m (or anywhere for that matter), is far higher.
