Think any team in the world would sign Haaland if they had to put that clause in, not like it's going to stop him from banging them in.

Dont see the likes of Real being ok with a getout clause just 2 years into his deal.

But doubt he would leave there all the same even if they had that clause.

Be better than spending 80M on a Hazard mind you...

Hazard was €140m

Isn't this line of argument based on that City just signed off on such a deal?

Good United tomato says United admire Frenkie but Romero is getting a bit ahead of himself. He wants UCL footy anyway.

So hard to see De Jong sign with us but I do believe in miracles.

 

[chef]

City can match the wages anyone else would offer and their project is as good as any so hes going to be at City for ages.

Messi signed a 9 year deal with Barca in 2005.

Saul signed a 9 year deal with Atletico in 2017 (LOL).

Inaki Williams signed a 9 year deal in 2019.

Denilson signed a 10 year deal in 1998.

They're the longest I could find.

lmao really? Saul?

 

[Memphis]

€20m apparently

Great business from Barca.

Bought for 146mil and sold for 20mil.

No way real Madrid sign him with a clause.

(Less than a billion)

Cause the mega clubs don't have sell clauses unless required by law then very large

Yeah just a wee bit off there aren't I....

I very much doubt Haaland has a City clause. The Germans haven't exactly been reliable in regards to Haaland, they denied the clause existed with Dortmund for ages and not only did it but it was less than thought.

and even if there was, worst case scenario is a tidy profit

 

[moomba]

Cause it hasn't got much attention at all.

The agent fees have been known for ages.

 

[chef]

Rudiger and his agent brother are sharing not only a 30m signing on fee but also agent fees with Real.

 

[Frank Bunn]

I'd like to see some attention given to the agent's fees.

€40m agent commission seems like a huge amount. On face value €2m would have been generous.

Are the agent provisions in the player's best interest? €40m fee to the agent and possible ongoing deal with City limits the options of clubs available to the player. Surely some of that €40m finds its way into Haaland's pocket if he had a less greedy agent?

Does such a large fee to Haaland's father amount to income splitting for tax purposes?

No doubt still regrets leaving haha.

won 3 league titles and a champions league while getting a significant pay rise. i reckon he's alright

And Liverpool wouldn't have Allison and VVD and a few trophies if he stayed. There's no regrets on either side.
