Unlikely - sounds like it was for only £170k as they were pretty much going to lose him on a free, so wanted to keep him away from Prem clubs. He's only 17 but already sounds either a trouble-maker or a high opinion of himself - apparently went AWOL from training after not getting picked on their preseason tour!
A tad more than that according to the Beeb - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41118514 £10M for a kid who has never played a first team game - utter madness.
I think we might have a sell on clause as well. What is interesting is that he forced the move by refusing to train at City. So it's in his DNA to do this or similar to each and every club he plays for.
Clearly feels he will get more of a chance at Dortmund - but probably won't be earning as much. Meanwhille at the other end of the football world Adam Thompson seems to have been dumped by Bury after just 3 games! http://www.burytimes.co.uk/sport/15...take__admits_Bury_boss_Lee_Clark/?ref=mr&lp=1
