If the clauses are met and Brentford is required to buy Schade, they will be spending £22m to make the transfer permanent.
The fee would represent a club-record figure, surpassing the £ 16 million paid to Hull City in the summer for forward Keane Lewis-Potter.
The 21-year-old can be used on the right wing and upfront and is considered cover and competition for talisman Ivan Toney, who has been charged with breaching FA betting rules and may receive a significant ban if found guilty.

But Schade is more of a future prospect and so if Toney is banned, it is believed the club will seek out a more experienced replacement in the January transfer window.
Schade would become the first January signing for Thomas Frank’s high-flying side.
