I know what obligation means, I just don't agree that it is an obligation, I've said that all along. We bought Asamoah as he proved himself to be an €18m player and important member of the team, I will still be surprised if Isla doesn't go to a blind auction or reduced offer. If he does, then there was no obligation.
"Juventus announce that an agreement with Udinese has been finalised over the definitive acquisition of the registration rights of Asamoah for a fee of €18 million to be paid in three years," a statement on the Juventus website reads.
"At the same time, Juventus and Udinese signed a player sharing agreement related to the same player for a consideration of €9m to be paid by Udinese in three years.
"Juventus also announce that an agreement with Udinese has been finalised over the definitive acquisition of the registration rights of Mauricio Anibal Isla for a fee of €18.8m to be paid in three years.
"At the same time, Juventus and Udinese signed a player sharing agreement related to the same player for a consideration of €9.4m to be paid by Udinese in three years."
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old Cristian Pasquato moves in the other direction for a fee of €3m paid over three years, with Juventus re-signing 50 per cent of the forward's economical rights for a fee of €1.5m.

If i got it right,i think WE have the right to decide of whenether to buy or not,and it's not an obligation.
Because we have both them completely,then sold 50%.and it was OUR decision to extend the co-own with Isla and buy Asa's second half.
So we are in a position where no another extension can be made.Either one club buys his second half or clubs will go to the blind auction...

So what does 'definitive acquisition' mean here then ?

Yes but we are certainly not getting them for those quoted prices.
Look at my post here,i think that's what it means.
Buying outright+selling half=You hold the right of what to do next.
