"with the full fee for Porto defender Eliaquim Mangala now being confirmed as £42million, rather than the £32m reported by the club at the time of his arrival"

He's included the joint fee paid for Fernando as well

i find that really hard to believe. We showed our interest in 2013 and it was reported that the release clause was 50M euros (roughly equal to 42 million pounds). the other figure that usually surfaced was 38M pounds

I doubt that we would have had such drawn out negotiations if we ended up paying exactly the release clause

4 paties owned him .... thats why it took 2 windows to complete the deal, because even when Porto had agreed a fee, the other parties had to agree to their share.

Porto actually got closer to £20m for Mangala, the rest was paid to the other parties so we could get him outright as per Premier League rules.

dragged on mainly as City expected Porto to pay the other parties from their share and think it was eventually settled in the summer.

It's not impossible, when you'd think Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa and jorge fucking mendes behind this. TWO TOUGH BASTARDS.

Not going to click on it. Did he say where it was "now confirmed" ?

We paid Porto £24.3m for their 56.67% share of the defender. How much we paid third party owner Doyen Sports for their part is not known. Its just a guess work that their stake was given a similar value, so that the £42m fee has been confirmed is a lie.

If I remember rightly, City briefed the press that they paid £32 million and that was that. If someone else had to settle an additional £10 million, it wasn't their problem.

Correct, there was also a another third party owner called Robi Plus involved, and nobody on the outside knows how much or who paid who or if the deal involved trading other players rights against cash, nobody knows. So it has very much not been confirmed.
