Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony has confirmed they paid Bristol City a £500,000 lump sum this summer following Sammie Szmodic's transfer to Blackburn.
The Posh signed the attacking midfielder from City in the summer of 2020 following a six-month loan spell having fallen out of favour under Lee Johnson. He impressed during his temporary stint which convinced Peterborough to pay £1m for his signature after helping fire them to promotion.
However, following their relegation to League One last season Szmodics made a swift return to the Championship with Blackburn before admitting he was out to prove a point to the City fans who questioned his ability on social media.
