On June 25, Ligue 1 giants Lyon were sentenced to be relegated to Ligue 2 for financial violations. If the team fails to appeal, most of the players in Lyon's team will have to leave the team.
Just two weeks ago, they sold their youth training Serky to Manchester City for a total price of 42 million euros (fixed 36 million + 6 million floating). At the same time, they also had a 15% second-transfer share, but they still couldn't stop the teams with serious debt from being relegated.
It is reported that since the termination fee cannot be added in the Ligue 1 contract, Lyon and Serky had a gentleman agreement to leave the team for 22.5 million euros. This winter window, Dortmund met this offer, but was rejected by the boss of Lyon.
In the end, half a year later, Sherky joined Manchester City for a total price of 42 million euros.
