how much did they spend this summer?
its a hypothetical situation. the point, which you are happily missing, is that they dont need to want the player back. if they get an offer from someone else that exceeds the buyback, they will exercise it, as long as the player is in agreement
and just to say, unlike some of fuckers on this site, i have no interest in having to pretend to be an expert or analyst. im not that insecure

sums are hypothetical. the point which some are missing is that they dont need to want the player back. they just need an offer from elsewhere that they are happy with. these days, the chances are the player would have agreed before the selling club ( in this case, lets call it madrid, not us) is even approached.If Madrid want to go through all the hassle to make a £2m profit, surely we'll just pay them that £2m and keep Reguilon? Heck Levy can even throw Perez a free tour of the skywalk to sweeten the deal.
We could simply match the offer they're getting from somewhere else and save them all the hassle of completing deals.
Let's say Juventus offer £45m for Reguilon, so Madrid exercise their £(28+15)m, buy back clause to make a £2m profit. We could simply pay them those £2m and keep Reguilon and change his original cost from £28m to £30m.
If Juve offer £50m, then we pay Madrid £7m and change his cost to £35m. Whatever offer another club makes to Madrid, we can actually 'match' it by offering £43m less than that! Sounds mad but the math checks out!
We'll only really come unstuck if Madrid sack Zidane and the new manager sees Reguilon as their starter.

May as well stick Tanguy and Lo Celso in there too.
Much easier to settle into a successful side than one in disarray
Given the performance of Mourhino, Levy and Hitchens this window (imo a 9.5 out of 10), think Campos might be signed as reserve DoF !
Cannot believe our entire transfer window cost less than Harry Maguire.
That ship has sailed....
We got that Swansea geezer in and gave Hitchens a fancy new job title.
FFS. And if we sign Campos, you or someone else will just say...'well if we now sign player x...'
Stop it.
I have just bought a toasted bacon sandwich that cost more than Maguire is worth so....,.Cannot believe our entire transfer window cost less than Harry Maguire.
yes, of course we could.
it could be contractual that they have to offer us the chance. it might not be. But for that two years, they can effectively sell him to someone else whilst hes still our player with us as a club not being really being able to do much (obviously it depends on the actual terms of the buy bacl clause, which we dont know)
you would hope so,Pretty sure I read we have some kind of first refusal clause.....
I’d suggest it was both of your suggestions to an extent.
I think they'll at least keep us in the loop. For their own profit. Maybe we can outbid the club they want to sell him to. Unless they want to do a dodgy deal with the third club or want one of their players. Anyway, I'm not too worried about that right now. Let's win as many trophies as we can in these two seasons so that Reguilon realises this is the club he was born to play for.
I hope everyone is pleased with their back up striker - clearly the main issue for us to solve. I’m staggered that all the talk was about this and not a CB when the options were Dier, Sanchez and a past his best Toby. Our supporter base never surprises me on terms of their blindness to our needs.
