Ker-ching - City pocket from Muric deal
- Author, Simon Stone

A lot is made of Manchester City's money, as if all their wealth comes directly from their owners.
Yet, on a day-to-day basis, they are a profitable club - and one of the ways they achieve that is by the sums they receive from sell-ons from transfers involving players who used to be at the club.
Burnley are selling goalkeeper Arijanet Muric to Ipswich, for a fee that could rise to 拢15m.
That means City will get between 拢2m and 拢2.5m.
Indeed, in a post from the highly respected 'Swiss Ramble' blogger on Tuesday, he said City generated 拢298m in player sales over the past four years. Only Chelsea have raised more - and only Leicester, Brighton and Everton got to half that figure.
