In a clear snub to neighbours Manchester United, rivals City have inserted a 40 per cent sell-on clause in Brahim Díaz’s £15.5m impending transfer to Real Madrid should the 19-year-old winger move on to “any other Manchester club”. Díaz, who joined City in 2015, is understood to be on the verge of joining Real in a £22m deal if £6.5m of add-ons are triggered. The sell-on clause falls to 15 per cent if Díaz is subsequently sold to any team not based in Manchester. City are said to be “delighted” with the financial package for a player who is out of contract in the summer. Díaz will follow Jadon Sancho as the second of three bright academy-reared prospects to leave recently.
