Thats right, I’d guess we have a total package price, that we would negotiate around. What I’m saying is, if we think we have an agreement and another club comes in offering a deal that is over our total package budget, give or take a bit,we would walk away not be drawn into a bidding war or held to ransom.Depends what the ‘package price‘ is I suppose. If we presume we were prepared to pay £120M for Kane plus £300k a week for 5 years that takes us to £200M. If Harland is on £67M, there’s quite a bit to play with. Admittedly they won’t want to blow their wage structure out of the water but there are ways and means to not do that. Finally, someone will pay, so I’m of the view that I’d rather it was us than anyone else..
Am I right in thinking that his Dad and his agent want £30 million apiece. That would probably scupper any deal coupled with his wage demands.Depends what the ‘package price‘ is I suppose.

Talk is cheap. Erling Haaland is very expensive. A long way to go on this one, if it ever happens at all.| BREAKING: Erling Haaland's agent, Mino Raiola, is set to to hold talks with #ManCity in January over potential summer move.

Spread across numerous players, can see that, however, for a singular one? Nope, which is the problem l!Are you aware that we have paid more in agent fees than United almost every season in the past decade? We are used to paying a shitload in fees, and amazing how people can’t seem to accept that.
or lose him on a free.Not sure from a financial perspective it impacts the deal, but if we did get Haaland he stays for 5 years, we still have a very valuable asset if he decides to leave. If we bought Kane, there is no re sale value as he will be retiring. But Haaland in 5 years he does move on, we could well sell him for 200 million.
