City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

[eastlandsblue]

Signed by CFG placed into Troyes, loaned to PSV then to sister club Girona. Why would CGF put such a high release clause on him if as seems to be the case that, he was getting his education and settlement in Europe sort before moving to City

Now if this was the case. Then why would we have to pay a penny. And why would City need to spend when we could just ask the group to buy us Rodrygo. The €12.5m to sign him came out of Troyes transfer funds. So they got to enforce the release clause, which was rumoured to be €60m. And that’s normal practice. The group on the whole might scout players and purchase them for a certain club. And Im pretty sure each club will have a say on wether they need him has a squad player, or just an asset that they can sell on if is value goes up. Hence the reason he was sent out on loan by Troyes. They’ve doubled their initial investment on him. And had he stayed at Troyes. We’d have probably have never heard of him

Rumour about release clause, facts point to otherwise
Never played for them
Placed there to get international clearance following loans before coming to City
Proven his ability at Girona if not then yeah we probably wouldn’t have hear of him
Troyes made a profit on him as you rightly said
Legitimate moving around funds within group loans and transfer fees

At one point it was rumoured that they received another offer for him of £8m.
No idea if this is true.

It’s not slander as City haven’t made a “public statement.”

It would not have even been slander then.
Slander is spoken word only, not written, which is libel.

A reminder of part of the original story in The Times.

Thought it was November that was being dealt with?
