Sell-on Clauses: Man City’s Hidden Gold Mine!…
Manchester United’s hunt for a goal-scoring machine might just lead them to an unexpected buddy from the past – none other than Liam Delap, the ex-Man City whiz kid. Their Technical Director Jason Wilcox, who basically gave Delap his academy wings at City, is in the gossip loop. After shimmying triumphantly through the Premier League as Ipswich’s star, Delap is now the toast of the town. With United and Chelsea both scribbling his name on their list, Ipswich is set for a diet of healthy earnings. And guess who’d also pop a bottle of bubbly if Delap makes a big move? That’s right – City, thanks to their cheeky 20% sell-on clause.
But Delap isn’t the only golden goose plucked from City’s pastures. James Trafford is stopping more shots than a ninja dodging nerf darts at Burnley. Newcastle are sniffing around, cheeks full of cash, eyeing him for a swoop. And City’s already rehearsed their winning dance – there’s a 20% clause for Trafford too!
These smartypants clauses also mean cash drizzle from deals across Europe, with fantastic sums linked to some of City’s other former prodigies. From Taylor Harwood-Bellis dodging the relegation dance to Carlos Forbs potentially wolfing off to a new club – City fans can practically hear the ka-ching of their hidden transfer piggy bank exploding with goodies.
