Just like Ruben Dias had 100m release clause. Plus when you add player RC is irrelevant. And we are negotiating with Sevilla which we would not do if we just plan to pay RC.
And we have this report...
Azpi is same height and is playing this position for years. Do you agree that RCB is best role for Azpi over RB or LB or RWB or DM?
Walker also. So you think Azpi height 178cm is not a problem but Kounde height 178cm is a problem?
And I wonder will he bench Azpi from day one?

City tried hard for him last summer. Monchi explained here why they rejected great offer. Kounde also said that he spoke to Pep.
They also wanted KK. Ruben Dias was only a 3rd option and now player of the season.
