I think in the current financial landscape that only Real, PSG, and City could realistically afford him?
Suppose Chelsea as well, but they made their push last summer and just spent 100m on Lukaku so they're out. United I suppose, but they're shit.
I have nothing to back this up but I just can't see him going to PSG.
So it's us or Real. And I desperately want him to come, and like to think he would prefer us as well. My only worry is that it might come down to whoever stumps up the sketchier, under the table type payments. Which is a double edge sword as Real are quite adept at that, and every football governing body would crash down at the slightest hint of us and only us not doing something completely by the book. Thats their wet dream.
With all that considered I think we'd have to get quite creative and really sell him on the long term vision. Maybe CFG investment in Norway if there's a club near and dear to his heart? Future shares in club affairs post retirement? Inside track on whether Pep will extend or who we are lining up to take over after? Some type of community involvement and marketing? I don't know - but things like that.
