Romeo Lavia

Probably because his buyback is 40m and doesn't come into place until next year.
If we were to try buy him now we'd have to at least match Liverpool bid.
Not sure if you can have a sell on clause to to yourself.

Sell on clause will apply - we’d just pay less for him than anyone else.

But us bidding £40m is the same as Liverpool bidding £50m.

I assume that our 20% sell on fee will be from the profit that Southampton make on the transfer. They paid £12m up front, so a £50m sale would make us £7.6m extra.

We’d have to offer about £43m to get him back at the same rate this summer.

You assume that why?

It is unlikely to be a % of profit and much more likely to be a % of total sale (as all of our previous deals have been).

Assumed it would be. I’ve never seen it one way or the other. Obviously I could be wrong.
 
Seems mad that if they sold him for less than they got for him that we’d still get £2m if he went for £10m.

Life's full of little gambles. The other way is clubs pay a higher fee up front and not worry about a sell on. It is effectively a future bonus to reduce the fee, although an unknown one.
