I think people are underestimating just how well Morata would have to do to make Real Madrid inclined to use the buy-back clause.
Morata can very probably do well for Juve and improve a lot and still not come close to improving enough to make Real Madrid think it'd be worth spending 30m+ on him - not so much because of the cost but because of the standard of striker Real Madrid generally have at their disposal.
You then also have the safety net for Juve of Morata's will be decisive in a situation where Real Madrid want to buy him back. Would he want to stay at Juve and be the main man or go to Real Madrid to be the back-up to whatever superstar centre-forward they happen to have at the time.
Basically, I think people should be judging this transfer on Morata's ability/potential and the fee Juve are paying for him, rather than focusing on a clause in the deal that will probably not be exercised.

You're right,Jem.It is a shrewd deal....
But for Madrid.Not only they raped us with the transfer fee and they'd just end up paying a cool 10m net if he develops into a star.
Without a buyback clause,i'd absolutely have ZERO complaints about the price because i do understand that even half decent players cost a lot these days.Wouldnt you feel disgusted when you do all the hard work in developing the player and you would think we can be set for yrs with the guy but then you realize if a simple clause gets triggered and all that hard work gone to drain literally.
Or just imagine a scenario where Man United have a buyback clause for Pogba at 25m.How would it feel ?
Morata is a Madridista through and through hence why i provided that Marchisio example.He would definitely go back if he felt he's an important part of their plans there.
The ONLY hope i have here is Madrid buy their usual big name star players which diverts the attention away from him and this is just a hope more than anything else.
Dont tell me there wasnt another backup CF available who wouldnt've been available for 20m.I'd rather Lukaku at 25 than Morata at 20 with a buyback clause.All in all a totally poor transfer deal.
Hope he does well anyway.20m going down the drain is a bigger disaster than selling him for peanuts if given choice between the two.

That's super.
Chelsea, apparently, want 40m for Lukaku.

Let me phrase it a bit different
Unless Morata single handedly puts juventus in the semi finals or further, madrid wont even bother following him. Let alone sign him back
Aka, unless Juve makes a highly profitable run in the CL, they wont buy back. its not just a 10 mil profit. You can add the increased CL revenue.
