"?Championship outfit Barnsley are set to receive a sum in the region of £7m from Everton, following the Toffees' sale of John Stones to Manchester City.
The Merseyside blues netted £47.5m from the deal, and with Barnsley's sell-on clause of 15 per cent, they will make more than twice the fee that they sold him.
Just going to save this Vine for the inevitable first howler from £47.5m signing, John Stones. https://t.co/arhjmjdQA3
The defender parted ways with the Tykes back in 2013 for just £3m, but after blossoming into one of the best defenders in England, the club is set to rake in an amount higher than their highest received transfer fee, which stands at £4.7m - paid by Blackburn for Ashley Ward in 1998.
Great day for Barnsley. Thanks to 15% sell-on clause, they've made £6.6m from Everton selling John Stones to Man City for £47.5m
The Tykes haven't spent more than £2m in transfer fees over the last eight seasons, which makes £7m quite a coup.
Stones, meanwhile, will join Pep Guardiola as the Spanish manager looks to take City back to the summit of the Premier League.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach has already made several key signings this summer, with Gabriel Jesus (joining in January), Nolito, Ilkay Gundogan and Leroy Sane all joining the Manchester outfit.
