[Albion] Deniz Undav **Gone To Stuttgart 09/08/24**
- Thread starter Juan Albion
- Start date
As much as I really rate Undav, €20m+ (for a soon-to-be-28-year-old striker with no sell on value to the buying club) is too good to turn down.
He went there to force his way into the Euros squad and absolutely nailed that, whilst also going home, banging in the goals and qualifying for the Champions League. Why on earth wouldn't he want to stay there?

I hope you are being sarcastic.... I believe he wants to leave, of course, but he has shown me enough that I think he is a real asset that would do a job in the PL again.... screw them for as much money as we can.
Kicker reporting that our loan deal with Stuttgart includes a buyback option of slightly over 20 million euros (which is of course what Stuttgart must pay for Undav). If exercised, we would essentially pay a few million euros or so to keep him.
Brightons Rückkaufoption blockiert Undavs Wechsel
Trotz Kaufoption konnte Stuttgart die geplante Verpflichtung von Deniz Undav bisher nicht finalisieren. Der bisher unbekannte Haken: Brighton verfügt über eine Rückkaufoption.www.kicker.de
But that would depend on Undav wanting to come back.

....as he signed up to the contract details, I assume he would have to until an agreement is reached one way or another.
If they don't pay the pre-agreed fee, he comes back. If they do (and he agrees), we then have the right to pay 20 mil to get him back, but at that point he's their player, so he can turn us down.
Even though he may wish to stay in Germany I believe he would honour his contract he singed. That said I am always uncomfortable holding a player that doesn't really want to be here.

An article I read says all these clauses and pre arranged fees are only valid until June 30th. After that we can ask for whatever fee we want if Stuttgart want him. I wonder if we’re stalling because of that.

I suggest it’s Stuttgart who are stalling. Pay up, job’s a good ‘un.
I’d like him back.

It’s news that we can’t sell him on to another club — this summer, presumably — if we exercise the buyback option, right?
It's not really relevant. If we were to use the clause to buy him back, it wouldn't be to resell him, it would be because we want him to play. I hope Fab can convince him to come back.

I figured as much, but still, intrigued by the slow trickle of information re the terms of the loan.

Isn't that just because a player can only be bought permanently twice in a season? I don't think it's anything to do with any deal we have with Stuggart, it's just a point of fact.

Fair enough!

I’m lost with this buy back clause
I guess Stuttgart have time before they need to make the offer, and our manager (who hasn't even been confirmed) will want time to speak to the player if he wants him. There's no real hurry.

I assume that is to do with the number of clubs a player can register with in a single season.
