Man City in line for huge windfall as Newcastle pursue Jack Harrison transfer

Manchester City will bank almost £5million if Newcastle meet Leeds' £35million valuation of winger Jack Harrison.

City sold the 25-year-old to Leeds in an £11million deal last summer after allowing him to move to Elland Road in a loan deal in 2018. The Premier League champions also included a clause in the deal which would see them net 20 per cent of any profit if Harrison was sold on.

That means the Blues will land another £4.8million if Newcastle follow up their interest in the Stoke-born former England Under-21 international by meeting Leeds' valuation. Harrison helped the Yorkshire club return to the Premier League under Marcelo Bielsa two years ago.

In May, he scored a crucial goal in the final-day win at Watford that kept Leeds in the top flight after a relegation fight which saw Bielsa sacked and replaced by Jesse March.

City have already banked almost £125million this summer selling Raheem Sterling to Chelsea, allowing Gabriel Jesus to join Arsenal and doing business with Southampton for Romeo Lavia and Gavin Basuna.

They will profit to the tune of another £30million by also selling Oleksandr Zinchenko to Arsenal.

Pep Guardiola's squad has been bolstered by the £51million arrival of Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund and the £42million capture of Leeds' Kalvin Phillips.

Guardiola also wants Brighton 's £35million-rated left-back Marc Cucurella. The Blues' business dealings in the transfer market this summer will see them post a healthy profit.

City have no interest in signing Brazilian superstar Neymar despite claims over the weekend that they were ready to make Paris St Germain an offer.
