Not all English clubs. Look at how Chelsea were able to negotiate a fee for Morata that was lower than the rags' failed bid. After Walker, we've now got a target on our backs. Monaco changed the goalposts because of the Walker fee. Not because we're an English club.
If you listened to the Sam Lee interviews, both Liverpool and PSG have inquired about Mendy and were basically told he only wants City, and halted their interest. The reason the fee hasn't been agreed upon is because we paid £45m +£5m for Walker, and because Monaco know they can milk us for as much as they want as Mendy either wants City or to stay at Monaco. So in negotiating Monaco can say, "look we think Mendy is already better than Walker, he is younger than Walker, and has a far higher ceiling than Walker. Pay us what you paid for Walker or we'll just keep him. The player is equally happy either way." We also know he is great friends with Bernardo, Bakayoko and Mbappe, Timeou has already left, Bernardo has already left, and Mbappe is off to Madrid in a few years, I am still extremely confident we will agree on a fee for Mendy before the window is up. He is our number one left back target and the Chairman made it fairly obvious that we are prepared to spend big to land our first choice targets this summer. So far we haven't lost out on anyone other than Alves, for reasons beyond our control.This is more of a fan reasoning, Mendy is not a City fan, he will pick the best deal for himself

But they we'rent really, in fact if all the add-on requirements are met the are paying 10 million euros more than United. The fee for now is £58m but it will surely go up. And if it doesn't then Morata will be viewed as an abject failure.Not all English clubs. Look at how Chelsea were able to negotiate a fee for Morata that was lower than the rags' failed bid.
