Why do they agree to put a buy clause in when loaning players? I dont get how it can ever be beneficial to the seller cos the loan club will only ever take up the buy clause if the players worth more at the end of the season, unless theyre italian where they will just try to renegotiate it anyway.
Same reason a buying club puts a sell-on clause or buyback clause in a contract, because there would be no deal without it.
We want rid of Aspas. No takers. Someone offers to loan him, cover his wages, pay a fee of £1m or £2m and if they like what they get buy him at the end.
Ultimately it´s win-win. If he works out well, we get the fee we want plus the loan fee. If not, we got back some of his fee and his wages off the books for a season at least. They get to try before they buy as we did with Cissokho and Mascherano.
