but imagine we agree to loan X player with option to buy at 20M, and after a season they say to you "I want to buy X, but I'll give you 10M"
how that can be considered "fair"?
maybe I wouldn’t have loaned him to you if I knew you wanted to buy him for 10M
Mate, that's not the situ we're in so it's irrelevant.
"Fair"...... In your scenario the selling club can simply say no. Fair has nothing to do with it.
