Liverpool is now reportedly seeking to sign Tosin Adarabioyo, a player who was previously sold by Manchester City to Fulham for a minimal fee in 2020, according to the Mirror. If Liverpool makes this transfer, it could have implications for Manchester City, as the club may have to forgo any potential profits from their 20% sell-on clause for Adarabioyo’s transfer.

The Manchester Evening News reports that when Adarabioyo was sold to Fulham for £2 million in October 2020, Manchester City included a 20% sell-on clause in the deal. This means City could stand to make money if Liverpool or another team approached Fulham for a permanent transfer before the upcoming deadline and paid a fee. If Liverpool secures a free transfer deal with Adarabioyo when his contract expires this summer, Manchester City may not benefit from their sell-on clause.

The Fulham player has attracted interest from several clubs, including AC Milan and Tottenham, in addition to Liverpool. Fulham ideally wants to keep Adarabioyo, according to the Mirror, but as the player considers his options, it raises questions about the future of Manchester City’s 20% sell-on clause.

The situation reflects well on the City Football Academy, which has produced many talented players, including Adarabioyo. The academy’s success in nurturing talent and producing players of interest to top teams speaks volumes about the quality of talent emerging from Manchester City.

Ideally, Manchester City would hope to make money from Adarabioyo’s move, but the current situation could mean that the club forgoes any profits from their sell-on clause. The final outcome of these transfer negotiations will determine the financial implications for Manchester City and how they stand to benefit from the sale of Tosin Adarabioyo.
