It’s not that though, they simply must be given the chance to match any fee we agree with someone else. 

Thats exactly what the Trafford deal was. We agreed £28m. Man City matched it and within 10mins it went from him coming here to heading to Man City.

[The College Dropout]

No a buy back in the Real Madrid sense is an agreed return fee at point of sale.

There's a whole lot of sky falling in for a pretty mundane bit of news, sounds like an insurance policy and mostly just to keep him away from Barca, there's a lot more nuance to just Real deciding they want one of our players for a cut down price in a years time. It certainly feels like some people just want to be relentlessly negative about the club.

 

Wilson et al are no mugs, if it wasn't a deal worth doing, we wouldn't be doing it, simple as that, seriously not worth losing heads about.

Totally correct. This player hasn't even signed for us and people are worrying that he is going to leave on the cheap due to a clause that may or may not in exist in a contract that doesn't even exist yet? I know there is tendency to see the worst here (and often justifiably so), but this is just beyond ridiculous. 

[Zero]

I held a different point of view. I ain’t moaning about the clause etc. I just think this kid could be something else for us and will be playing for Real Madrid 2-3 years later simply because he is good enough for them.

 

To play for Real Madrid in the El Clasico as a youth product is a very strong evidence re his raw talent. Ironically it’s this game that probably makes him unable to continue at the Real Madrid first team and hence need to go to Osasuna for further development. But his raw talent is still there.

 

He could be even better than the best ver of Gordon within 12 months. I am serious.

 

Sign him first. Even if he’s summoned back to Real Madrid, it could still be used as an excellent case for other talents to come and follow Munoz step

 

i.e. The clause will be activated, in a good way imo

A ROFR is totally fine. A buy back too as long as we can book a profit. Just get er done

When he loses his place to Harvey Barnes, Real Madrid won’t be interested anyway.

Right, but that's different to a pre agreed sell back fee, of say £30m.

 

As far as I'm aware the £28m we agreed with Burnley wasn't a set fee Man City had put in this contract.

 

Either way the article quoted isn't saying theirs a set fee at all.  Only that if we decide to sell, whatever fee we are offered, must then also be offered to Madrid before a sale.

Which wasn’t what I was quoting for the record however who’s to say that £28m wasn’t the magic number for Trafford back to Man City. There was clearly hesitation on our part to agree a fee knowing it could bite us immediately. Ironically regardless of what everyone argued (we delayed too long) we’d of been actually been better going for Trafford last day of the window from Burnley as Man City would’ve already bought Donnaruma by then   Moving parts as they say…

From his club's local rag. Awaiting formal confirmation. Real will have a right of first refusal, rather than a buy back.

Osasuna awaits Newcastle's official offer for Víctor Muñoz

 

The sale of the winger depends on the English club validating Osasuna's position after the latest talks in a deal that will slightly exceed 30 million and will include variables.

 

The sale of Víctor Muñoz to Newcastle is nearing completion. All signs point to the winger's departure in the coming hours, based on ongoing discussions, but Osasuna still needs to receive an official written offer to finalize the deal.

 

This hadn't happened at least until yesterday afternoon, while the young footballer awaited further news while with the Spanish national team at the World Cup. He is not expected to play in today's opening match against Cape Verde because he is still recovering from a muscle injury.

 

The intermediary between the clubs is Juanma López , a former Atlético de Madrid player who works for the Niagara Sports Company agency, a firm that Víctor joined in recent months to look after his professional future.

 

So far, several exchanges have taken place leading to this final point of understanding, which will result in the formal submission of the offer and its subsequent acceptance. Newcastle targeted Víctor Muñoz to replace Gordon, who transferred to Barcelona, and made a verbal proposal that has been reviewed and revised by Newcastle over the past few days.

 

The situation has always been favorable, according to Juanma López, but we have to wait for Newcastle to accept Osasuna's latest offer and send the official document. Until that happens, the signing cannot be confirmed.

 

Despite this tremendous financial power, Osasuna is aware of its limitations and doesn't want to push its luck beyond what's possible. The fee being discussed is a fixed amount slightly above €30 million, plus add-ons. They are also debating who will pay the solidarity mechanism (training compensation) since it's an international transfer. This will be 5% added to the cost of the deal, as stipulated by FIFA.

 

Once Osasuna receives the official offer, their contractual obligation is to forward it to Real Madrid , who will then have 48 hours to decide whether or not to re-sign him. In the preceding days, the Madrid club has already verbally informed Osasuna that they will not be exercising this option, but until there is written confirmation, nothing can be taken for granted.

 

If Osasuna buys him back, which seems unlikely, their net profit would be €2 million (after deducting the transfer fee paid in 2025). If they don't, as seems likely, Real Madrid will receive 50% of the fee paid to Newcastle. Osasuna would then receive just over €15 million , making it the biggest sale in their history, surpassing Raúl García's €13 million transfer to Atlético Madrid in 2007.

 

Leaving aside the Osasuna situation, the newspaper AS reported yesterday that the agreement includes a provision allowing Real Madrid to retain a buy-back option for the striker while he is at Newcastle. However, sources close to the deal indicated yesterday that the right Real Madrid will retain is a right of first refusal. In other words, they will be able to match any future offer for the player.

 

 

 

Again...it just feels like Ross Wilson knows what he is doing and is good at his job.

Despite reports, those close to the deal say Real Madrid do not intend to take up a buy-back clause nor do they want a new clause inserted after he has spent a year at his next club. They believe no ambitious buying club would accept those terms.

Though discussions have taken place with Osasuna they have yet to fully develop and progress is anticipated this week.

The Spanish side want £34.5million, the player's buy-out, and Newcastle are looking to structure the payments.

Could any more step-ups see this deal potentially leave the atmosphere?

Don't forget how behind Hope et Al were with Jaouen. They're at the World Cup.

[Kilcline]

Was thinking how uncharacteristically positive that was from Hope before realising it isn't his piece 

[Mole]

I imagine what No Hope is referring to is Madrid having a right of first refusal as mentioned in the Spanish press earlier.

 

Which is obviously very different to a pre agreed buyback clause and completely fine.

We'd have to be idiots to agree to a buy back so I never believed that one. Right of first refusal is fine.
