Don't set it so high that you'd never pay it, but not so low that the buying club refuses the transfer entirely.

It allows you to move out fringe players to balance the books while keeping a "safety valve" if your starters get injured or decline. The Cons:

If a "wonderkid" explodes in value to £20M, but your buy-back is £5M, you’ve secured a massive discount.

Even if the club accepts the bid, the player can still reject the contract if they feel they've outgrown your club or dislike you.

If the player flops and his value drops to £1M, your £5M clause becomes useless; you’re better off just bidding normally. Best Use Cases
