It's £44m. 42 million Euros plus add-ons of 8 million Euros
This is from the official Roma statement.
Salah will join the Premier League side for an initial fee of €42 million. The move will be formally completed when the transfer window opens in England on July 1,” “The deal for the 25-year-old also includes various additional clauses, worth up to a total of €8m, based on the player ......"""""
So as usual the media choosing to run with the base line fee for another club.
You're also talking about one of the better managed clubs out there in Spurs. I don't understand where the criticism comes from. The City takeover was a great day because we knew money was at last going to be spent on the team. What do these critics want? For City to convert it into Pound Coins and build huge towers of money outside the ground? We want players on the pitch, and in time for the coach to work with them in pre-season. And a secondary issue, we don't want to pay the Earth for them when we have FFP regimes trying to trip us up. In my view we do all that - it's not City who paid an agent an extraordinary £20m, or maybe even £40m for one playerAs a club i stand by what i've said in that we are a level above where Spurs are right now.
They are a selling club, end of and like Modric and bale before, Kane and Ali will follow and levy will be powerless to stop it and thats my whole point as most on here laud him as the second coming who holds all the cards and power when in truth, its players who still do and the fact he keeps having to sell them kind of proves my initial point that as clubs, we operate on a different level right now.
I'm actually not sure about Salah. He was very exciting for FC Basle. I remember watching their games on tele and thinking who is this guy. But he was so disappointing at Chelsea....but that was under Mourinho. He since has done well at Roma. It's a bit of gamble but I am sure Klopp has done his research. It is by any measure an extraordinarily expensive deal, and yet the media copy each other with the fee. For Liverpool, the issue of presenting them as dripping with money is not on the media agenda, but for some in the media it is with City, hence our deals always get quoted as the final headline fee, and this one gets understated all the way across the mediaYep, It's actually more than Bernardo Silva and what Liverpool received for Sterling. Both are much better players than Salah.
Couldn't agree more, can never understand the negative talk about he cost this and that. Fact is the club has had a very specific plan they've been rolling out which envolves Pep building a lasting legacy at our club, one that will last longer than his tenure here. Why wouldn't they back him unreservedly. There no point in ruining the bigger picture over £5-£8m.How can you criticise City's spending this Summer?
Top quality players. That's the main things. And the secondary issue of the fees is reasonable.
The most expensive deal for me would be Ederson. Traditionally keepers haven't gone for that much and Ederson a keeper with limited experience and no international record has gone for £35m. But then look what Everton paid for Pickford. As I said above, Salah went for £44m, and we maybe able to get Walker for £45m so you'd have to be harsh to criticise the prices we're paying this window. City are not doing a Spurs and waiting to the end of the transfer mkt to pick up "bargains", we're trying to get our business done first. We always try and do that. That's the way good clubs are run. I don't like the way Levy runs Spurs because he seems to overly concentrate on money which can be short term. The most important thing is to get the football right on the pitch and support the coach.
try taking the points away handed to them by refs whilst playing us. then have a look.Are you sure? We might have better players (in some positions) but we've finished behind them for the last two seasons. Once might be a fluke, but twice, maybe not.
Past windows we ended up spending a lot of money on players who weren't good enough.Couldn't agree more, can never understand the negative talk about he cost this and that.

For the last few seasons iv been increasingly worried who was out there, and available, to replace David Silva when the time comes. Isco seemed the logical option, but never seemed obtainable.Past windows we ended up spending a lot of money on players who weren't good enough.
This Summer most fans wish-list of players is being signed, sealed and delivered.
If you ask most fans who was the most impressive visiting player they saw at City last season quite a few would say Bernado Silva. And we bought him. Across the board we've gone for the best players in their positions. We might not get Mbappe. Prhaps we could have done if we'd have put all our eggs in one basket, but that would be high risk. last season we had some of the best quality players in the Premier League, but the team was weakened because we also had some very average players and a squad is as good as its weakest link. Txiki bought Jesus, Sane and now Bernado Silva. If you're as old as me, you can remember previous owners spending record money and buying players like Stave Daley, Kevin Reeves, and Steve Mackenzie.
my thoughts to a tee. I was stressing over Dave until we played Monaco. cant believe we got Bernard in so efficiently.For the last few seasons iv been increasingly worried who was out there, and available, to replace David Silva when the time comes.

Remember turning to the old boy who sits next to me at the Monico game and him saying to me that lad there is the one we have to have, I agreed but thought they would be a real scramble for his signature from Real/Barca etc, when this place went crazy with rumours and the announcement came, I was in a really impressed with the efficiency of Tikki and co.
I'm really excited to see how we look by the start of this season, think there's something very special on the horizon.
I watched Bernado Silva play for Portugal yesterday. Got injured 1st half. Played out on the right, but some of the little things he does on the ball remind me so much of D SIlva. The way he receives the ball, and turns and makes space for himself. It's as if Bernardo Silva has based his game on him.For the last few seasons iv been increasingly worried who was out there, and available, to replace David Silva when the time comes.

he wont match Dave but he's the closest I've seen to date. Dave is quite simply our best ever player . if Bernardo gets even close we will have been very lucky.I watched Bernado Silva play for Portugal yesterday. Got injured 1st half.

Last season might not go down as David Silva's best, but I realised last season that for all the KDBs, Sanes, and other big name players, David Silva is the one who makes us play, and when he's not there you know it straight away.
I hope B Silva gets time. he should do given the options. David Silva is really tough, and very competitive. B Silva is taller but doesn't seem to have as much aggression. He might need some time to get to grips with the physical aspects. I don't think it will be a big deal though as City teams always have 65% possession.

Not sure if it'd work but can you imagine the passing game with Silva, Bernardo, Kev and Gudogen all firering fit at the same time feeding the likes of Serg/Jesus/sane and even possibly Sanchez...its wet dream football.my thoughts to a tee. I was stressing over Dave until we played Monaco. cant believe we got Bernard in so efficiently.
Silva is the most under rated player we have had. Toure, AGuero, Kompany always got the credit they deserve. I know some think even they didn't get the credit, but they still have plenty of plaudits. Silva doesn't get quite as much credit. I wonder why that is? Perhaps it's because passing in the English game isn't quite as appreciated. I don't know the reason. I saw an interview with Edin Dzeko a few days ago, and he was asked who was the best player you played with and he said Silva.he wont match Dave but he's the closest I've seen to date. Dave is quite simply our best ever player . if Bernardo gets even close we will have been very lucky.
B. Silva will be our best signing this season bar none if he gets anywhere even close to the magician. He looks capable though.he wont match Dave but he's the closest I've seen to date. Dave is quite simply our best ever player . if Bernardo gets even close we will have been very lucky.
You mean Modric and Bale who both went to Real Madrid for £30M and £90M respectively?
There is a reason why he got those fees and its because both where brilliant and Spurs are a selling club.
There is also a reason why we dont receive fees like that and its because we keep our best players because as a club we are a level above Spurs right now with very different aims.
Levy is that good he managed to snap Jesus up from under our noses yeah for a bit less than what we paid except he didn't did he?
He managed to persuade Sane and Sterling? Nope!
Aguero fancy a spell in North London does he persuaded by levy who will get him on the cheap? You know the answer.
He sells their best players, that's it and he sells them mostly because those players hold the power and they want out and all that levy does is what any other chairman will do and thats agree a fee.
Specifically,Precisely why I mentioned Chelsea and them being able to get ridiculous sums for their players who weren't world beaters, which you ignored to respond to.
