Co-Owned Trasfers

I am MK Dons and I want to by a player who is co-owed. I go to make offer and all I get is offer club X 50% stake. I have no idea what that means, can I even but this player?

Basically 2 clubs joint own the player and you have to pay the 2 clubs. so if you buy from 1 club you only half own the player so you have to buy the other half from the other club. Hope that makes sense

you need to agree a transfer fee with both clubs he is owned by.

Yes, but you have to buy the stakes of both players, so this will be an expensive deal, I myself back away from buying co-owned players as they're not worth the money IMO.

My scouts say I can get him for 30k, so in theory I'd be paying 60k. 30k to each club?

No, you have to negotiate with both clubs, I'd say 60K would be an estimate.

Should be pointed out that co-ownerships only exist in Italy (correct me if there are other countries where this is standard practice). Some have claimed that co-ownership is a mechanism to keep Italian prospects playing in the Italian league system. Granted there are some advantages to both sides (usually a lower level team gets an instant cash injection but keeps their promising player, while the bigger team gets a claim over a good prospect but can let him wait to develop). That all said, the OP's post shows that it makes signing co-owned players much trickier.
