Kevin de Bruyne

Madrid bought back Carvajal this season, it happens more in Spain, although not that often as the players let go rarely improve enough to warrant being re-signed.

Don't think its ever happened at Chelsea, but we haven't been in a position to sell players with high potential with the funds to buy them back for that long

Thanks pal. Perhaps, I made a mistake in my wording, then. I just have not seen it much. It´s like with KDB. Why bother with a buyback clause here ? The kid was not ready to play for Chelsea mentally, I feel. So why does anyone think he might be ready in a year or so ? Plenty of money made for the club, let´s get other players.

Matic.

Matic.

No thanks.

[Special Juan 27,424]

There may of been a window of a chance for him had we not signed Willian. As soon as he signed that was it, his time was limited as a 30 odd million pound player was always getting the nod ahead of him.

Matic.

Is he on buyback ? How come they are asking close to 20m for him, then ?

[Hutcho 8,443]

Hasn't worked out uforunately. And if 18 mil is the offer its not a bad return on investment. Its hard to see him go as i know he will be amazing wherever he goes and will be another one that got away.

But he just isn't gonna get enough playing time here to show what he can do, with 5 other world class players, who are only slightly older than him.

You're asking why there's a reason for a buy back clause....Matic is exactly why.

Barca had a 5 million euro buy back clause on Oriol Romeu after the first season and 10 million clause after the second, now its expired.

Since you said Matic is on a buyback, therefore I am asking why so much ? Did Chelsea set this price ? To me he isn´t worth it.

You're an idiot.

Seen at the training ground today...

[Jase 43,479]

Now now WHS, there's no need to call him that..

Arsenal have a buyback clause for Fabregas.

Not really. They have first-option clause if Barcelona look to sell Fabergas which is a massive difference. (And for a team like Barcelona, who aren't a selling club with Fabergas being from there, it's a clause that will only be used if things go really bad.) If we tried to insert a buyback clause or a first-refusal clause to a sale in this situation, it would greatly reduce what we could get for De Bruyne.Ffans have a tendency to have a singular view of sales and loans, but there needs to be a benefit for both clubs or nothing happens. Buy-back clauses are extremely rare for a reason. It's pretty difficult to envision any future where De Bruyne plays a big part for Chelsea in the next few years. We have a whole bunch of attacking midfielders who are all young, ahead of him on the depth chart and De Bruyne is never going to be a Mourinho sort of player. Just sell him for maximum profit and move on.

Jose "He has a chance to go"

A bid is in and we consider it at a level that is good for us.

"He wants so much to go" "A good deal for the club"

There is no such a thing as buyback when it comes to footballers, at least I do not know of any.

Perhaps, you may help us here ?

Carvajal Real Madrid for example. Negredo also had one. Parejo etc etc. Real Madrid often sells their players with a buy-back clause. Its often done in Spain. Cant remember one player with a buy-back clause in England though.

Barca dont have a buy-back clause for Fabregas. They have a first-option clause, means, that if Barca wants to sell Cesc, Arsenal has the priority to buy him and if anyone makes a bid for Fabregas, Arsenal has to be informed about it and if they match this valuation, Barca needs to sell him to Arsenal (if he wants to go to Arsenal)

Does Jose said two bids for KDB ? So Wolfsburg and ?

[Despiadado.Maleante 1,046]

Mou just confirmed we have had 2 teams bid for him
