Guardiola referred to it again today in his press conference.
So those ยฃ65 million release clause will go to Bournemouth in one payment, by the way.
That's the case in most release clauses.
But there will still be enough to sign at least centre-back, maybe two, depending on the second one.
But even if you want a Marguerite type with six months left on his contract, they will have enough money for that.
I think if you're in his position, really, you have to wait six months.
And then in six months' time, you're a free agent.
You would have clubs like City, like Liverpool, like others queuing up for you, really.
And then you'd get more money as a free agent.
You'd get a massive signing on fee as a free agent, which you won't get now because...
City or somebody else who come and get you will have to pay a transfer fee to Palace.
So it makes more sense for him to wait.
He might decide otherwise and to move now because he wants to work with Pep and he can win the Premier League and he can win the Champions League, all of that.
So it's not as straightforward as us here saying, stay where you are.
win the Conference League, finish top 10 in the Premier League, you'll have a great season again and then go wherever you want as a free agent in the summer.
