City spent an absolute fortune in January, would they have the room in PSR to sign Wirtz for £125m? They've a lot of work to do elsewhere as well

You're forgetting their new sponsorship money

If they need PSR headroom they'll do "yoof swaps for stupid money" with another club that also need it (a la Villa and Newcastle last summer), invent some more sponsorships or just use the £50-100m they're about to get for this Micky Mouse tournament.  

i should have read on a bit

Well, they were able to sell their ground to Chelsea, and I think Chelsea bought the hotels off them...

I'd be happy with sloppy seconds on Gibbs-White BTW If they go for Wirtz instead.

As well as that really dodgy s***e Transfermarkt reckons they've also received €700m in sales and loan fees over the last three seasons - also dodgy as f***. City only have €150m-ish over the same period

So he'll engineer leaving on a free in five years?

If there is a chance of him signing he is someone who should be offered a 7/8 year contract. Any concerns of who would replace the creativity hole left by Trent going is resolved.

It's been their model for years, stockpile cheap youngsters and sell them off 

Also doesn't help when stupid f***ers like Arsenal and United pay inflated fees for the likes of Mount and Havertz
