Burnley confirm Ramazani loan with £6.5m obligation plus add-ons

Burnley have confirmed the arrival of winger Largie Ramazani on Tuesday, announcing an initial loan that includes an obligation to buy. The club’s update makes the move official, with the player joining immediately on loan before a pre-agreed permanent switch follows.

According to Ben Jacobs, the package is set at an obligation of £6.5 million with up to £2 million available in add-ons. Those figures outline the size of the commitment Burnley have made to complete the transfer once the obligation is actioned.

An obligation to buy differs from an option in that the purchase is pre-committed and will be executed once the specified point in the agreement is reached, most commonly at the end of the loan term. In practical terms, it means both clubs and the player have certainty that the transfer will convert into a permanent deal as scheduled.

Such add-ons are typically linked to performance or team objectives, though the precise metrics attached to this agreement were not disclosed. The structure allows Burnley to integrate the winger straight away while locking in the fee for the subsequent permanent move.

The club’s announcement did not detail the contract length or any specific triggers that activate the obligation. No further administrative terms were specified in the confirmation.

The confirmation settles the immediate question of Ramazani’s status: he is available to Burnley on loan now, with the arrangement set to become permanent once the obligation comes into effect under the terms of the deal.
