As a few have said, I can see them getting ~£25m upfront and the rest in add-ons. City typically find a way to let their young talent leave if they want first team footy.
City will only have a high price if someone is willing to pay it. And I don't think anyone will be willing to pay 40m, so their options will be to keep asking for 40m and risk losing him for free, or to reduce the price.
€14m a year PLUS bonuses?
Could have sworn he was only getting €10m a year gross because of Barca's incredible negotiating prowess??
