Micah deal back on?

Rumours are again surfacing about former Latics youngster Micah Richards. Tales are rife that Premiership clubs are again showing interest. Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea have all been suggested as possible moves and with Athletic entitled to 20% of Manchester City's profit, a substantial transfer fee would be a major boost for the club.

Richards was formerly at the Boundary Park club's centre of excellence when he was signed by City three years ago. City tried to 'buy-off' Athletic's sell on clause but the Latics rightly turned down any such suggestion. City then tied Micah to a three year deal at the City of Manchester Stadium. A figure in the region of £5 million has been touted and I am sure that the latics coffers would welcome 20% of any such deal.
