Jarell Quansah

I imagine the player has to agree to it before its put in place anyway.

I mean Quansah and Elliot probably don;t really want to leave so a buy back suits them as well.

Go off do mint elsewhere and you can come back. Do ****e and you might end up at Everton.

I expect it works in the same way as a release clause. If a club meets the valuation the player is free to talk to them, except in this case the release clause only applies to one club. The player could refuse in either case.

Yeah, that's my reading too, otherwise the player would be agreeing to comeback some time in the future on a pre-determined salary, if the club snapped its fingers. Seems far-fetched to me - who would lock themselves into that situation?

The idea that if Quan comes on in leaps and bounds we would then snap up a world class defender for (relatively) cheap is a super simplistic reading of the situation. I would have thought a sell-on clause would have been the better bet.

Got to be first refusal. You couldn't force a player to sign for a club and you wouldn't really want a player in the squad that didn't want to be there.

[BootRoom]

How do these buy-back clauses work? Does the player accept that he'd come back if the fee is met, when signing the initial contract, or is this really a "first refusal clause" whereby if the fee is met, a negotiation with the player would ensue to determine if he actually want's to be "bought back"?

Buy back clause for Liverpool will be worth at least £60m and could even reach £70m based on add-ons.”

As part of the arrangement between the clubs, Liverpool cannot activate the clause until 2027 at the earliest.

Seems a bit high that/.

There has to be something in it for everyone, if he reaches the level when we want to buy him back presumably he would be coming back as a first team starter, so an elite CB still under contract, you would be lucky to get such a player for £60m plus add ons now, add a couple of years of football inflation I don't think that's a bad deal.

I saw a German journalist saying the buy back clause is €50 million. If he becomes good enough to buy back, and by good enough I mean a first choice top quality CB, that’s not bad for Liverpool.

Nobody, but I think I have a reasonable idea.

of course you do

Meanwhile, the club will continue to make decisions based on data, analysis and experience that is far beyond anything you or I have access to.

He's not coming back then. He's not worth £30m+, he's an pretty average player who has benefitted from playing next to VVD imo.

He’s not worth £30m+ now, he’s only 22 so who knows how he will progress.

Hope he gets back on track, there is a good player there.

Thank you Mr Erik ten Hag we appreciate you giving us some of the Wirtz money back so we can keeping getting better. Now don’t sign any of your former players, but we have a couple more you might like.

Suggestions on social media that we have agreed to sell him to Leverkusen for £30m + 5m add ons and a buy back option
