League Two neighbours, Shrewsbury Town, could net up to £1.5M from the sale of goalkeeper Joe Hart.
Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Hart, an England Under-19 international, on a four year deal subject to a medical.
He will join for an initial fee of £600,000, but that could rise to £1.5m.
Shrewsbury need the money to help fund a proposed move to a new stadium.
