Athletic: Real Madrid’s buy-back clause for Jimenez is incremental – the figures | OneFootball

Following AC Milan’s signing of Alex Jimenez, there has been some insight gained into his future clauses, and one of the most notable ones is Real Madrid’s buy-back clause, and a report has offered some information into the figures.

Last night, it was made official that Alex Jimenez will join Milan on a four-year deal, but something that has remained hanging over the deal is how it would be structured. In recent months, it has become increasingly likely he will sign permanently for the club, but how long is permanent?

With the signing, there has been knowledge about a clause inserted into a sale that would allow Real to buy the Spaniard back at a fee agreed upon between the two clubs, which is often a commodity with young players leaving Los Blancos, but the actual figures have remained unknown.

Until last night, when The Athletic (via Milan Eye on X) reported that the Spanish club can buy the full-back as early as next summer for only €9 million – a €4m increase on the fee the Rossoneri paid. Additionally, after another 12 months, this figure will rise again to around €12m.

Of course, this is a less-than-ideal situation, and if Jimenez continues to progress at the rate he has, this option could remain hanging over the Diavolo’s heads.
