Manchester City have sold young talent Alex Robertson to Cardiff City for £1 million, with the potential for the fee to treble based on add-on criteria. Robertson had a successful loan spell at Portsmouth last season, but his campaign was cut short by a torn hamstring. Cardiff manager Erol Bulut is delighted with the signing, stating that there was significant interest in Robertson, and believes the midfielder can add quality and work rate to the team’s midfield.

Manchester City have been actively offloading players recently, with other youngsters like Callum Doyle, Mahamadou Susoho, and Micah Hamilton making moves to different clubs. Robertson’s transfer includes a negotiated 25% sell-on clause, showcasing City’s smart business approach. Cardiff will benefit from Robertson’s technical skills and work rate as they aim to push for promotion to the Premier League, with Bulut highlighting the midfielder’s potential to contribute to the team’s goals and plans.
