Is a buy back not the same thing Man City had with Trafford. If the player is not up for sale then it matters not. If however we decide to flip him in 12 month Real Madrid can get him at the set £30m fee.

Sounds nearer the truth. 

 

Probably more they'll have first option at a certain price IF we wanted to sell him next summer.

 

If its true at all...

Yeah good point.  Not even sure it would mean a fixed fee.  Normally it's means the club have to be offered the player first at whatever fee another team has offered.  If it's that for 1 year I can believe they might get that clause in there.  Just to avoid the trouble of Madrid activating their current buy back clause.

 

 

 

 

Aye, makes sense the club would agree to this if it prevents them activating their current buy-back

Exactly. Who knows if there is any truth in it. Seem to recall similar accounts saying we’d got such a good price for Gordon because the agreement was we’d buy Muñoz and flip him to Barcelona in 12 months at a cheap price. So this is probably their logic going a stage further [emoji38]

We are basically negotiating this deal with Osasuna AND Real Madrid.

 

Not only do Madrid have a 50% Sell on they have 50% economic rights, basically co ownership. He is registered to play for only Osasuna BUT Real Madrid do have a say in transfer talks as they own half of his rights.

 

It probably would be a buy back clause benefiting Madrid and not a first option clause. 

 

Although a deal like that sounds crap, If the clause is double or more what we pay then he has a good season with us and benefits us, we can flip him for a big profit quickly which I think is why the club will probably still entertain this deal ( if this rumour of buy back is true) as it will help us with the financial rules but it would be a bit shit as we'd be back in the same boat of needing a new left winger in a year.

This is what I asked before.  Do they actually own any of his contract?  If so what's the source?

I don't mind this as it gives the player some added incentive to perform well too. If he's played well enough for Real to want to activate the clause, then we've benefited from that on pitch and we haven't lost out financially on the transfer. In that scenario it's basically a glorified loan.

What Jake said.

All depends on the release clause, fair enough if it's something like £100mil but makes no sense to have it for £30mil - basically what we would be paying.

I've saw no source but it's very common practice in Spanish football co ownership and if Madrid were allowed to add a clause like that into the contract ( which as it stands is just rumours) then it would point to that being the case here.

Can't build any sort of foundation that way though - loans are just a short term fix.  Would assume take him some time to get used to the league as well.
