"Loan with obligation to buy" isn't a loan at all. It's a pretty obvious FFP dodge.
It's an "outright purchase with a deferred payment".

Well , if you cant sell the guy but want the wages off the books, its sometimes the only option to save some money for the selling club.
Its like when we loaned out Dalot and Pereira - couldnt find a buyer and werent sure of their future at the club so had to loan him out, and might not have gotten that if there wasnt an option to buy.
Because the club that gets him dont want to risk giving him lots of game time and not have the possibility of getting him permanent.
So yeah, its a win for the club recieving , but they have to also give a player thats not theirs playing time instead of potentially improving one of their own.
We have spent more than Chelsea and finished above them last 2 seasons. It is them trying to compete with us.
don't be naive, they just won the CL and are currently in a better position than us, squad and manager wise.
Gets a sizeable wage off their books for at least a season no matter the outcome, which is better for them than him barely playing and costing a packet for the privilege. Also shortens the remainder of his contract, which, even if they can't get a buyer, means that bit less a duration they're obligated to pay him. There's the chance for the player to put himself in the shop window, not only for the club he's going to, but everyone else, too.
What's bizarre is Saul going from a golden boy at Atletico to an unwanted and expensive loose end they want rid of. Last time I was following him/the club, he was a coveted player and now he's like an afterthought scramble for clubs who can't get their desired targets. Crazy turnaround!
Unwanted player on the final year of contract. Extend for 1 year and goes on loan, wages paid by other club. Buyout clause is a way for both parties to protect value by establishing a benchmark. If the player does really well and attracts interest from multiple clubs, it favours competition while at the same time guaranteeing precedence to the loan holder. If he doesn't, neither club loses anything from it
Madrid will be crossing their fingers that PSG will go after bale or hazard as part of their vendetta
Yea but is there an obligation to sell for the club that's is loaning.

Norwich could sign Ronaldo and Mbappe. They're still going down in May.
Such is the natural order of things.

Sell "it" now.
I thought so too, however I think the option itself probably has a cost attached (like in any other transaction) .
Come on, bro. We all need a bit of humour in life.
Makes a lot of sense for the loanee club. I'm not convinced by Saul but on a loan with buy option would be a neat deal for any club.
Where it makes sense for the loaning club is where you do not see a future for the player at all and feel regular football may be the best way to create demand.
He really isnt.

“Dump it”
Jesus H Christ, no!
If Ronaldo goes to City he can get fecked. He better have a grovelling apology for Fergie ready.
Well if the potential buyer exercises the option then the parent club can't really hold on to the player.

Nobody wants Ronaldo? I bet he's raging.
Same wages as Messi, plus transfer and agent fees. That and the only sugar daddy club that does those kinds of deals already got the 1 guy better than you...
Good signing for West Ham that
Just from a purely living perspective Imagine your choice was Seville or Wolverhampton
They have the money for Zouma (who is probably on about half what Lingard is)
If they get Lingard and Zouma that’s a great window for them really. Really needs more Lingard action though.
C'mon Ole, interject here and make this happen along with Saul on a loan and that would be a 10 out of 10 window!
Will definitely be missed around Cobham. Seems like everyone loved him.
Except for Tuchel!
I really liked Kurt, he is a hell of a nice guy. I like Tuchel's ruthlessness also.
Damn it there goes our hopes of selling Jesse
He's, like, a Chelsea reject, because they want another, more expensive defender.
Despite this transfer being rammed down our throats at every opportunity in this thread, there is not even a transfer thread on him. Nobody cares.
What do you mean it's being rammed down your throat? It's a transfer tweet in the transfer tweets thread.
Maybe because this particular transfer was off then on, then off then on again, then off and then finally on again. So there's gonna be loads of tweets about him
