Ideal Man City transfer gets ‘here we go’ confirmation; transfer fee, TWO clauses, failed rival bids all revealed

Manchester City and Real Sociedad have struck an agreement over the transfer of an attack-minded full-back, with Fabrizio Romano divulging the finer points of the ideal move for Pep Guardiola’s side.

Man City have already lined up their first signing of the summer, with Brazil winger Savio due to arrive from Troyes once the Copa America concludes.

Man City rejected loan proposals to secure loss-making sale

Gomez joined Man City from Anderlecht in a deal worth roughly £11m back in 2022. As such, City are in line to generate a small £3.4m loss on the player.

The Spaniard arrived with a reputation of being a marauding and attack-minded full-back having notched seven goals and 15 assists in 50 appearances for Anderlecht.

However, Gomez has largely been limited to substitute appearances and outings in much-changed line-ups for domestic cup games since arriving at the Etihad.

Josko Gvardiol’s arrival last year placed another obstacle in between Gomez and regular minutes at Man City. As such, the decision to cut the player loose was taken.

A follow-up from Romano revealed transfer interest in Gomez was widespread. Indeed, more than four clubs are understood to have tabled proposals, with the vast bulk of them relating to loan deals.

However, Man City elected to sever ties on a permanent basis. The inclusion of the sell-on and buy-back clauses ensures Man City won’t be caught short if Gomez takes his game to new heights at Real Sociedad.
