We paid the 100 for Grealish in instalments and even paying Haalands 51m fee over a few years I believe.The player’s £100m fee can reportedly be paid in three annual installments making a deal more viable for clubs at risk of exceeding Profit & Sustainability Rules.
I think age isn’t an issue. Maybe when spreading the cost over how many years that player will play at the club but not going after a player because they are say 29/30 is ridiculous. I’d personally like a few more experienced players at city if certain players leave.Bruno Guimaraes is only two years younger
