Etihad’s Magical Money-Making Academy…

Once upon a time, in the enchanted kingdom of Etihad, a young wizard named Farid Alfa-Ruprecht packed his magical boots and waved goodbye to join the mystical land of Bayer Leverkusen. Like a mischievous cat, Manchester City sneakily slipped a golden 50% sell-on clause into the deal — a shiny touch of football finance alchemy! While Farid sprinkles his football charms in the Bundesliga, City’s treasure chests will jingle with anticipation.

The secret scrolls of the Etihad speak of other prodigious pilgrims like James Trafford, who was traded from the Burnley cauldron to the tower of Toon in Newcastle for a sackful of doubloons. City, in their serpentine splendour, shall receive £3 million in golden coins as a reward for their sell-on cunning. It seems City is a football Hogwarts, where young talents might not become stars on their pitch but instead beam brightly elsewhere, filling City’s coffers along their journey.

City’s academy is not just a mine of football talent but a veritable ATM machine, spewing out £200 million and counting! As City graduates like Liam Delap or the mythical Romeo Lavia conjure potions of profit in distant arenas, the Etihad keeps the magic alive. The youth teams keep winning, and the transfer windows open like treasure troves stuffed with secret sell-on deals. Expect City’s wand-waving to continue as they sprinkle financial magic over the transfer market — open for business, always!
