Adding this clause usually forces you to accept a lower upfront transfer price because the buying club is taking on the risk of losing the player.

It functions like a long-term loan where the other club pays for the player's wages and development.

Even if the club accepts the bid, the player can still reject the contract if they feel they've outgrown your club or dislike you.

When negotiating the sale of a player, you can add "Buy Back Clause" under the "Additional Fees" section. You set a specific price (e.g., £5M). If you choose to trigger this clause later, the club is your bid of that exact amount, regardless of the player's current market value or form. The Verdict: Is it Worth It?
