Liverpool and Tottenham to receive payment from Manchester City...

Liverpool and Tottenham will both profit from Manchester City’s Premier League title victory due to clauses inserted in the transfers of Raheem Sterling and Kyle Walker.

Pep Guardiola’s side were confirmed as champions on Sunday after rivals Manchester United suffered a shock defeat to bottom-of-the-table West Brom at Old Trafford.

The result left City 16 points clear of United with five games to play – and 15 points to play for – making it the joint earliest a team has ever won the Premier League.

However, their title win has not come cheap, with The Times reporting that three recent transfers included clauses should City win the league.

Tottenham are, perhaps unsurprisingly, due the biggest windfall, with City’s title win triggering a £1.5 million payment inserted into the deal to sign Walker last summer.

Sterling also won his first Premier League title with City since leaving Liverpool three years ago, with the Reds due £1m under the terms of his move.

Leroy Sane’s old club Schalke are also due to receive a payment, though it will only set City back around £432,000.
