The Athletic report that Chelsea have a pretty hefty sell-on clause in addition to the by back option. The buy back is £50m but with the sell-on clause it would net out around £35m for Chelsea to sign him. I think that rules them out. Southampton are looking for a fee around that £50m mark so...

£12m doesn't seem like mega money.

Correct, that is an agreement only between Chelsea and Southampton.

A buyback clause is agreement between the clubs, not the club and the player.

Correct, yes. The agreement is only between Southampton and Chelsea.

I can't see Chelsea going for him this summer though. They will have other priorities and will be targeting more established players.
