Jarrell's Quansong

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.
 
Cough. Euros not GBP !

See @darkstarexodus post from previous page for several examples.

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.

I know thinking isn’t your strong point, so I’ll try again - it doesn’t matter if any have or haven’t worked this assures us we get a good deal whatever happens. Either he develops into a top class CB at Leverkusen and we can re-sign him for a net cost of about £16m or we bank £35m for a young player who isn’t going to be quite good enough.

Since you asked though - Caravajal - sold to Leverkusen and buyback activated by Real one year later.

Couldn’t get into the Real team, flourished at Leverkusen, so Real had dibs on one of the best RB’s of our generation at a ridiculously cheap price.
 
No downside to having a buyback and yet someone is still trying to make some weird mystery point,. Also, we might still have a sell on clause, there is nothing to say we cant have both ffs.

This argument is equivalent to not locking your car because some criminals can still get into them.

How do you know there isn’t a sell on clause as well?

Also, sell on clauses tend to work on a percentage ABOVE what the team paid for him - so if he got sold for £20-30m we’d get nothing.

If he sold for £40m we’d get like 10% of £5m.

It doesn’t matter if there’s zero chance we re-sign him at £50m - because £35m is still good business and doesn’t look like we compromised on upfront fee to backend a buyback clause. It’s an exercise in mitigating all eventual outcomes, whatever they are, to our benefit.
