They can still give it a right go. I wouldn't want to lose him if he was a City player mid-season.Atalanta aren't going to win the Scudetto whether he stays or goes. They cannot outpace Inter...
He could still take his pick in the summer too and use our contract offer as leverage.I think its far from certain a player who turns 26 this year would turn down a chance to quadruple his wages in a bigger club and a better league to be in a title race they more likely than not wont win. Would be a massive financial gamble from someone who is closer to 30 than 20 and is far from earning the big money in top level football. Perhaps Ederson is willing to make that multi million gamble to try earn himself a trophy with Atalanta, a club he has not even played 3 seasons with, who knows. But given that he is currently on a salary that would not even make him a top5 earner in some Championship teams, I think there at least is a decent chance he would take the big money move to a big club if given the opportunity. He could break his leg next month and regret he didn't take the deal that would earn him 50m+ the next 5 years, compared to the 6m he has earned in his entire career so far.
Easy to say "I would turn that down to be in a title race with Atalanta", but considering the numbers involved I think its a stretch to assume any or most players would turn that down.
I disagree with that. Atalanta are a very ambitous club themselves.I’d bet he couldn't give two fucks about the Scudetto.
If he could take his pick among the top clubs in the world he wouldn't still be playing for Atalanta.He could still take his pick in the summer too and use our contract offer as leverage.
After this season if he helps them win Serie A he will. I wouldn't rush to buy him for JanuaryIf he could take his pick among the top clubs in the world he wouldn't still be playing for Atalanta.
Or an expensive version of Fernando (who was a decent squad option)Could turn out like Fern, could turn out like Fred.
Fred was playing in the wrong team, much maligned by the rags, whilst no Fernandinho, he would have been effective for us.Could turn out like Fern, could turn out like Fred.
Fernando was so shit. Shocking player like Javi Garcia.Or an expensive version of Fernando (who was a decent squad option)
