Bizarre clause revealed: Fulham could loan Kusi-Asare for free | OneFootball

Jonah Kusi-Asare moved to FC Fulham on loan on Deadline Day – with an unusual contract structure.

According to information from Times Sport, the loan fee for the 18-year-old initially amounts to three million euros. However, this sum can be reduced to zero – depending on the playing time the striker collects in the Premier League. In addition, Fulham has a purchase option of twelve million euros, while Bayern was able to secure a buy-back clause.

As late as Monday evening, it looked as if the transfer would fail. Sky reported that the necessary documents could not be submitted in time. A few hours later, the surprising turnaround: The Premier League gave the green light for the deal despite the delays.

Bayern retains control over Kusi-Asare

Before the transfer was finally completed, Kusi-Asare extended his contract with the record champions for the long term. This allowed Bayern to maintain control over the future of the Swede, who, despite his young age, is seen as a great promise for the coming years.

Fulham thus gets the opportunity to test a highly talented attacking gem without taking too much financial risk. If Kusi-Asare is used regularly, the loan fee is waived – a model that suits both clubs. Thanks to the buy-back option, Bayern retains decision-making power if Kusi-Asare fully hits the mark in England.

For the offensive player, this now opens up the opportunity to gain match experience at the highest level in the Premier League. With the signing of Nicolas Jackson, the backup position behind Harry Kane at FCB had been newly filled. In Munich, Kusi-Asare would therefore probably have received only a few minutes of play – in London, he is now expected to take the next step in his development.
