Simpson-Pusey deal: the details
Manchester City will pocket an initial €5.5M from Jahmai Simpson-Pusey's move to FC Köln. Add-ons could push the final fee to €7.5M. City have also secured a buy-back clause and matching rights in the deal, giving them a future path back to the player if he develops as hoped.
Fan reactions
City supporters seem largely at ease with the move. The buy-back clause and matching rights are the main talking point, most see it as smart business, a safety net that protects the club if Simpson-Pusey kicks on in Germany. The general mood is calm confidence: let him develop, and if he becomes the real deal, City have first refusal.
