We had Delph and Zinchenko. Delph went, Angelino was his replacement.

If Chelsea activate the release clause Bournemouth are legally obligated to accept the bid. It’s still up to Ake to decide if he wants to move however

It depends on the terms of the clause. Most of them can't be activated mid season.

There is the possibility of that but I’m doubtful that it’s inserted into this particular deal

It remains until Chelsea can sign players again? Find that hard to believe especially with the bids Bournemouth knocked back.

It's usually the norm. Bournemouth would be better off continuing to loan him if they had absolutely no say over his future.

I think you misread the tweet - it doesn't say "until", just that it won't have expired in the next year

barely any big deals happen in jan these days anyways. and a lot of buy back clauses have big fees attached. ake for 40 mil was absurd at the time. so is our deal with leicester of 50 mil for kelechi

Not really. They will make a 20m minimum profit on him.
Please make it stop

Unless it's specified in the contract I can't see how that would be the case.

I didn't misread it - it claims the clause continues as soon as Chelsea can sign players again according to Matt Law.
That is laughable, why woukd Bournemouth accommodate Chelseas transfer ban?

Nah, it just says it has an expiry but it wont have passed by the time we are able to buy again.

We will see. If what you are claiming is true Ake will be a Chelsea player for 40m the second the window opens. Happy to do an avatar bet that he won't be leaving for 40m by Jan 2.

What's with the bet?
Im not saying is definitely coming and if he did it wouldnt be the second the window opens.
But all the information says if he wants to rejoin us and if we want to buy him it'll happen as a buyback for £40m. Its not that hard to get is it?

Bournemouth side believe there's no buyout clause for the winter window so yeah it is hard to imagine them being ok with him leaving mid season without them being ok with it. Summer window a different story.

It's a clause. It's in a contract. It can't be disputed.
It's not ******* rocket science for God's sake.
