I'll be sad to see him go but if the deal goes through at least we've had the sense to add both a buy back option and a sell on fee.

Canos and his representatives have been involved in a stand-off over wages
Sergi Canosā Liverpool career looks to be coming to an end, with Bristol City lining up a move for the teenager.
The Spanish midfielder has been involved in a stand-off over a new contract at Anfield, and the ECHO understands he is likely to move to the Championship club in a Ā£2.5m deal.
It is understood that would also include a sizeable sell-on clause, while there is also a buy-back option.
Canos made his first team debut for the club on the final day of last season against West Bromwich Albion, coming on as a late substitute.
It was reward for the 19-year-oldās impressive displays on loan at Brentford throughout the 2015-16 campaign.
However, Canos and his representatives have failed to reach an agreement over a new contract, with wage demands of Ā£10,000-a-week believed to be a considerable sticking point.
A deal of that value would put him on better terms than other Academy graduates who have signed new deals with the Reds recently.
Canos joined the Redsā Academy from Barcelona and scored seven goals in 38 appearances with Brentford last season.
After making his Liverpool debut, he hailed it as āthe best 10 minutesā of his life.
Speaking after his Reds debut at The Hawthorns, Canos said: āWhen people say dreams come true, they are right. Today one of my dreams came true.
āIāve had hunger from the first day I came to Liverpool three years ago. I hope Iāll be able to train with the senior squad more in future and show the manager that I can play for Liverpool.
āMy family told me itās sad the season is finishing. Itās been the best season of my life.
āI made my debut in the Championship, I scored my first professional goal and now Iāve made my debut for Liverpool. I am really happy.
āIāll be back for pre-season and ready to go 200%.ā
