Bristol City could be set for a small but surprisingly welcome summer windfall with Blackburn Rovers pushing to sign former Robins forward Sammie Szmodics.
Peterborough rejected three bids from City’s Championship rivals earlier this month but Rovers have returned with a fresh £2.5million approach which has forced the League One club’s hand. Football Insider have reported that talks are at an “advanced stage” over Szmodics making the move from London Road to Ewood Park.
From City’s point of view, that figure could net them around £300,000 following the sell-on clause that was inserted by former CEO Mark Ashton when Szmodics was sold to Posh in 2020 for around £1m. That ensures City 20 per cent of any profits from further sales, which works out at a fifth of £1.5m.
