Utter made up bollocks.
Anyone worth their salt knows City simply do not get involved in "bidding wars".
Also there's no such thing as bonuses in a release clause.

Was he 37?
Nah… he’ll sign for the Rags when he’s 37 - 2 trillion a week.
To be fair it’s not a release clause like the typical Spanish one. It’s an “agreed fee” written into his contract. So it could well have “bonuses/add ons” written into the feeAlso there's no such thing as bonuses in a release clause.

Wish it would be that easy but I don't think it would ever be that simple a negotiationLike someone earlier posted Offer Dortmund £100 mill in jan and let them keep him till the summer and see what happens .
Just pay over the odds and get him in Jan before release clause comes within reach of several clubsLike someone earlier posted Offer Dortmund £100 mill in jan and let them keep him till the summer and see what happens .
im not sure thats the point. The Player and Agent would make more money sitting out that last few months. He can get a better deal on a smaller fee and it will attract more clubs to the table. Its a no brainer to wait until the Summer as far as the player is concerned. Im sure that he will do just thatLike someone earlier posted Offer Dortmund £100 mill in jan and let them keep him till the summer and see what happens .
In American football there's this pattern that happens every few years where a lot of Quarterbacks need new contracts.
A top QB earns around $35-40m a year and if this is their first big deal or they signed their last one 4 years ago, they could be jumping up from $10-20m a year.
Obviously in a sport with salary caps this is something that can dominate your entire strategy for years and teams often try to delay it as long as possible.
But the thing is, those teams always end up paying the most.
Every QB wants to be the highest paid or break some sort of record in the contract, so if you're the 5th team to renew your QB in a year then you end up paying so much more than the first team.
This is how football wages are moving. Players know how much money is coming into the game and they want their slice. The mirror are reporting today Salah wants 500k/week to stay at Liverpool. Everyone knows what Messi and Ronaldo are on and KDB and Lewandowski and Neymar etc earn. Mbappe is going to move things even further next year.
My point is, paying 500k a week to Haaland now will be painful. But if the club passes on him, they will end up paying 600k to the next one in 2 years time. Or if they buy a cheap kid and he becomes world class, he'll demand even more in 3 years time.
The market sets the value of a world class forward and you cant dodge it forever. Sooner or later you're going to end up paying a world class striker what everyone else decides a world class striker earns.
long term, the later you leave it the more you pay.
