So y’all gonna act like ManCity is the more powerful party here and winning?
Come on: you’re facing a situation where you probably loose a 100 Million valued player for free - you’re recognizing that?
From Bayern perspective the free transfer would be considered as best case scenario. Leroy will need a few more months to get back his old form and in this time you have to pay his full wage. We can finalize the paperwork already in January and get a fully healthy player for free by next season.
And sane is in a bad situation? If he makes his move next year for free he will get a nice part of that money we are offering you at the moment for himself (signing bonus on free transfers are common, happened with Goretzka too).
so I see one side extremely under pressure which is ManCity
Two sides would be winning huge in case of a free move: Bayern and Sané
but well, go ahead pretending that you are in the powerful position
He doesn't play football for City for another 12 months and the only people who lose are Sane and Bayern.
That would be two years without kicking a competitive football, aside from upholding his contractual obligations to train and keep himself fit for selection.
In addition, retaining Leroy also results in him missing yet another major international tournament next year.
His financial package with Bayern is brokered on the premise of him joining THIS summer, not next year.
I think you will find that while we would be reconciled to losing for him for free, his £65k a week wages we currently pay would pale into insignificance against what more money Bayern will have to pay him in wages as a free transfer, setting a new precedent wage scale at the club.
And, as of now, the only people who have been discovered of financial impropriety all belong to your board in Hoeness, Rumminigge and Beckenbauer.
You need to know your place, yours is a club which boasts of living within its supposed means, all the time tapping up players to run down deals so you don't actually pay anything - you could ask Dortmund fans about that but then you bailed them out for living beyond their own means.
Absolutely nothing to see here about a board that can inflate cash and sponsorship as and when required thanks to Adidas, T Mobile and Audi.
I decided to keep it civil because the facts speak for themselves.
I hadn't realised just how much Pep leaving you guys for free had hurt.
I'd wish you luck crafting a morally superior responsive tone, but that would be remiss on my part.
