Tim Sherwood revealed that Fabian Delph had a nominal release clause of 8 million, enabling Manchester City to sign him while he genuinely desired to stay at Villa.
Delph wanted assurances on Aston Villa's transfer market ambitions, but Sherwood couldn't provide that information, resulting in Delph's departure to Manchester City.
Despite Aston Villa's disappointment in losing Delph for just 8 million, the midfielder's ambition aligned with Manchester City's competitive stature during his career.
Sherwood emphasized Delph's desire to remain at Villa amid uncertainty, stating, 'I said I don't know' when asked about future signings, which influenced Delph's choice.
