has just joined Cardiff City...
Man City supposedly have something like a 25% sell-on clause for Alex.
www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk
A connection with the Bluebirds was there from a young age for the 21-year-old. Alex’s uncle is former City fans favourite, Gavin Rae, who spent four-years in the capital city between 2007-11. Alex fondly remembers running around in City blue as a child while supporting Rae.
“He's told me a lot of good things about the city and the Club,” said Robertson after signing his agreement at CCS. “Going forward in my career now, this feels like the right place to be. I'm buzzing. It's been a few weeks coming. I'm so glad it is over the line.
“City have built a great squad for the upcoming season now and I want to be a part of that. The Gaffer told me the way he likes to play and what he expects from his players. I feel I can learn a lot from him and the more senior players in our squad. I'm ready to go. I've got stronger over the last few months.”
City boss Erol Bulut added: “We're delighted Alex is here. There were six other Clubs that were in for him, which shows what a talent he is. We had a meeting 10 days ago and explained our goals for the Club and for Alex. Our hopes and plans were aligned.
“Alex can deliver a lot. He's got quality. He’s technically very good with a great work rate and can add to what we already have. We now have a great mix of youth and experience in the midfield.”
Welcome to the capital, Alex!

The midfielder has signed a four-year deal at Cardiff City Stadium in an initial deal worth just shy of £1m, which could potentially treble if all add-on criteria is met. It is understood the deal includes a sell-on clause, which would see Man City received around 25% of any future sale of the player.

Cheers mate. I misread that. I thought we had sold him before and we're about to get the sell on from another sale to Cardiff.
I used to collect little badges of those fellas years ago.

Good business particularly with the sell-on fee.
