valuation is not the issue here ? its the wages reported that madrid and maybe barca are willing to pay.
manchester city will try and sell the project to haaland and working with pep also would be a selling point.
but the truth is its about wages ? if somebody offers crazy money how can you turn it down when its your future sorted.

i do feel haaland wants manchester city but also wants the sort of money he can get elsewhere and why not ?
we all would do the same thing with family first

I wasn’t talking about valuation with respect to this situation, but generally about how people will say “we don’t do X” about things we pretty much do
Also I should note here that in Spain they claim they can’t compete with our money, which is funny, when people here claim the opposite. I believe there is a misunderstanding about the current wages the Spanish teams are paying, but let’s not go there. Bottom line is, we are competitive and as Sam Lee said this Monday, the financial side isn’t an issue.

Only grealish was actually 6 years, the rest were extensions on existing taking it to 6 years.. i can see them offering Haaland 6 though, agreed.

Mendy, Grealish and Palmer (first professional contract) were all 6 years. Either way even if it was 5 years the amortisation wont be much more. Itll be around 4m extra a year. Nothing that would break the bank.
 
Really getting hopeful about this

getting to the point where signing any other striker will be underwhelming
 
How about this...City "targeted" Kane last Summer because they knew Levy would never go for it...they knew they would face intense scrutiny and pressure from the fan base if they moved into another season without a recognized 9 but they also knew Haaland was unattainable last Summer so they staged the great Harry Kane chase with no plan B...they could then say "Hey, we tried"...they would have taken a one year flyer on Ronaldo but only on the cheap on their terms...Haaland has always been their target...Pep knew he could compete one more year without a 9 and was willing to go thru another year to get Haaland...they could have easily moved for any of a whole bunch of solid strikers rather than Kane from both within and outside of the Prem but they weren't going to invest in anyone but Haaland...now we sit 10 points clear in the league and thru to the CL knockouts with the chance to move for Haaland 4+ short months away...and funny how just 4 months on we are no longer pursuing Kane...Its always been Haaland all along...
