He doesn`t have a release clause, they^re not a thing in France. €25m was supposedly a gentleman's agreement in January when they needed cash badly

Think they still desperately want cash.
The idea of him being a dickhead came from not wanting to move if I remember rightly?

Read on the OL forum.
“Given our financial situation and his contract, it will end up being €30M+bonus, so, in short, basically an absolutely ridiculous sum in view of his season, his talent, and his age. Everyone manages to get English clubs to overpay, but the fact that we can't because of the context makes it more than infuriating.”
No acknowledgment that they got Denayer for a song. Oh well.

Good knowledge I just checked and you are bang on, shows the shite standard of journalism as I've seen this 'release clause' stated everywhere. Maybe in Cherki's case its an in-house figure they would have to accept based on their financial problems rather than written into his contract.

I don't reckon this will happen its just a hunch but I reckon they will try for mad money and we will leave the table.
They can't realistically, they need the money yesterday
Impossible mate.
Lyon back in November were banned from making any transfers in the January transfer window and provisionally relegated from Ligue 1 at the end of this season because of financial mismanagement.
He only has 1 year left on his deal as well.

What's his character like? Is this the lad blues were saying had a bad entourage? I might be well off
Agreed. But perhaps Lyon is going, "wait a minute... City interested ? We can make something of this sale here." :)

If Cherky comes with the right motivations he is easily a 100m player.

Probably he would be the most talented player in PL.

Starboy with insane potential as a chance creator. It is all about his work rate, but at that price he is absolutely worth it. I do still have a feeling MGW would be excellent for us.
Sp he os a "Know Nothing, Say Something " kinda reporter?

I know he has to play sooner or later but it's going to be torture watching Rodri for a good while. He’ll be fine if he gets Some minutes at the cwc

are you saying we are massively over paying at 30 or underpaying I am confused
What context ?
Underpaying.
Context: 1 year left on his contract and they are in financial difficulties.

Underpaying. The view on Cherki was from an OL fan.
They received Denayer from us on the cheap, and we'll likely take Cherki from them on the cheap.

It’s a obvs a quote from a Lyon forum (as described) saying they’re selling for way less than he’s probably worth.
The person you’re quoting then basically says ‘well, they got Denayer for cheap’.
