I dont think he will, unless they want him, which would mean he would turn out to be excellent. Then we can charge them a high price
Not the impression I got. Respected jouno in Marca: Jose Felix Diaz says United and Real are deep in negotiations with Real standing firm for their buy-back clause. Also Reguilón changed his agent to Kia Joorabchian. Real are looking to get LB Marcos Acuña from Sporting for €12m. If they land him, then I hope they will let Reguilón leave without a buy back.

The price will vary depending on the final agreement, but will be around 25 million euros, in open negotiations and with maximum intensity in the last hours.
This part of the article makes it sound like the final price will depends on the clause.
Unless we set it at 80m
Wouldn't mind around 60 million, barely any FBs cost that much.
Don't think it's possible though. Hopefully we will remove it.
There’s not even a guarantee that the buy-back clause would get activated. We’ve got (or had) them on Januzaj, Zaha and Depay. I think we had Rossi on one when he went to Villarreal.
Real could be very happy with Ferland Mendy two years from now or a completely new LB could come on the market in that time that they would be looking at.
Or the player himself could actually end up liking being at Utd to the point the lure of Real isn’t as strong.

A €25m fee with, say, a €50-60m buy back clause in 2 years sounds fine to me. If Reguilon is as good as we hope he can help steer the team to success and maybe want to stay at that point. Or, he can go back to Madrid for a nice profit from our side and we can replace him adequately.
We’re too obsessed with the idea of “long term” here. Football is such a temperamental sport.

I’m not that arsed about it whether we get Reguilón or not. If Shaw remains fit, he’a about at the same level, and the analysis I’ve seen suggest they are actually quite similar players, with Reguilón possibly being a more prolific crosser of the ball and Shaw better on 1-on-1s defensively. The added depth will be a bonus with two games every week provided we do well.
It appears now that his medium term aspiration is to play for Madrid and we need to recognise that. If we sign him, it should be on the basis where he can realise his ambition rather being demotivated and picking up a paycheck. It can work out for both parties without us feeling like a stepping stone. A 2-year loan is unlikely, but signing him on a 5-year contract with a Madrid only buyback clause of +50% of whatever we pay for him, to be activated only during the summer of 2022 might be sensible.

The concern with the buy back is if Real use it like the Hakimi or Morata ones where they get the players back cheap and then flog on at a higher price.
Real bought back Morata just to resell him for a profit. They may not need him but if theres money to be made then they will activate the clause.
I am certain Utd will have looked into this buyback clause situation fully if there is any legs to this story
Real never had a buyback with Hakimi though, he was on loan for 2 seasons before they sold him without a buyback. I think the same would be possible with Reguilon if they end up receiving a similar increased fee
We need to insist on not including the buy back clause, some have mentioned that Madrid already have Mendy and won’t activate this clause but let’s not forget that they could buy him back and sell on to other clubs, exactly what they did with Morata a few years back.
Maybe we will accept a buy back clause to lower the transfer fee, to eventually free up some money for you-know-who

Yeah maybe we will just have to wait and see,considered to be tier 1 reliability according to Reddit

They have him at tier 2, he's under review and may be dropped to tier 3.
So that's essentially a loan.
Real is his boyhood club but he'd happily join United. Don't fall for the Madrid media propaganda folks.
I still haven't seen enough of him, but I know the scouts will have done their research.
Sancho first please!
Sancho first please!
Encouraging updates - buying a new LB should be our highest priority along with a winger.
A fullback with attacking talent? I thought they weren't allowed at United anymore.
Would have put CB above it however that looks off the table until next summer now
There can't be any sort of buy back clause. Do you think he's going to give 100% if we happen to meet RM in the CL?
im sure he just keeps on reposting the same tweet
if true then why don't we just loan him then?
Leftback is more of a priority than centreback. Get this done first and we can settle Sancho by the end of the window. Shaw is great but we cannot count on him staying fit for 40 games. This will be an equally important signing
I still don't believe any of this, and I'm not sure why. If it happens great, but I'm not buying into it. Also the stuff about a buyback clause and him being desperate to play for Real doesn't exactly get my juices flowing.
CB is also important but given we have so many in our squad and not easy to get rid of them so we are prioritising other areas first - which is the right thing to do imo
somebody best tell them that the window closes on the 5th October
Yeah there is a definite need to get a couple of them off the books
What's the point of getting a player with a buy back clause. I'd prefer if we looked for someone else, someone who wont feck off if he's decent.
If we get him for 25M and buy back is for 55-60M then I wouldn't worry about it. He's not going to be a generational talent like Haaland whom we couldn't afford to have that sort of clause.
Yeah same here
Would Real even agree to that? That's too high a buyback and they aren't silly
If there's a buy back clause the deal is nothing great for us.
