What if we said no more loans, sell but with buyback

My biggest issue with loans are:

1) The player doesn't belong to the other club so they have little incentive to play them, or

2) The player gets loaned to crap teams because good teams won't buy them as they'd just develop their own talent

We have alot of loanees coming back this season; and if we don't plan on integrating them into the squad, we should just have a mass sale, 5m a player, but with a buyback clause of 30m that expires in 3 years. This has a few benefits;

1) The player's career finally starts, he is not just being loaned out over and over again, he is at a good club and will play because he is there player.

2) The player knows if he is exceptional over 3 years, then City will possibly buy him back and he has incentive, the buying club would also profit big. We can even make the buyback clause 40m as a bigger incentive for better teams, the odds are atleast one player will be worth bringing back, and since we sold a bunch at 5m we can probably bring them back with a net cost of 0.

The only reason I bring this idea up is I'm just thinking about where our loanees are; mostly Scottish Premiership, Eredivisie, or Championship. Those loans are good for a year, but after which the player must truly be tested, Girona is our only top loanee club and only Maffeo get's game time, Aleix Garcia doesn't have a chance.

Enes Unal is playing with Villarreal, they were 5th last season and 5th this season. They are a good club to play at for a player developing and aiming for the top. These are the kinds of sales we should do more often.
 
Hmm sell for 5m and buy back at 40m, not so good.

Sell some for 5m no doubt, others for slightly more but he buy back is way to high imo.

Chelsea would've been delighted if they had the option to buy back KDB and Salad for 40m.

They maybe would have been better just keeping them and giving them some game time though eh!

KDB bought for 7m and sold for 22m, so Chelsea made a good profit on him, a long way from a 5m sale and 40m buy back scenario, we paid 55m KDB says no to a 40m return to Chelsea and Wolfsburg get top money from us.

Salah bought for 11m and sold for roughly the same plus they got 4m in loan fees on top - Liverpool paid 36m for him so nothing stopping Chelsea bidding in for him.

imo a player fucked off buy a club are unlikely to want a return anytime in the near future, Barca and Real seem to be exceptions to this but for obvious reasons.

A buy back option is only an option club to club the player surely can say "I am not going back there thank you."

We put buy back clauses in most of our sales of young players. Why do you think they agreed to such a move then?

Who the players ?

If so what difference does it make to them ?

Especially given the fact they can then say no to the return move in the future, it is an option club to club, so if somebody comes in and says we want player A we then get the chance to buy the player back at the agreed price, there is no way on earth the player gets no choice in the matter and is then forced to return to his previous club against his wishes.
 
no, because like Mooy, you wait for a loan that makes them hot in the market, let a team overpay for them and insert a buyback that gives them a small profit.
 
No business sense as loaning out as much as you want maximises the chances of profit

I wouldn't mind a ruling of each club only allowing to loan out any player for a maximum of 12 months before making a decision on them & would keep the player motivated knowing they have 1 year to impress
