Guessing that is on the back of Matt Ryan's transfer to Valencia as they had a sell on clause.
Throw in Caceres to City, he had a decent minimum release fee
"Had it not been for the $10 million sale of Australia goalkeeper Ryan from Club Brugge to Valencia seven months back, the Mariners would be been in the red to the tune of around $700,000."
They got 900k for him.
