I didn't know players buy extensive Property Portfolios globally please tell me more on this ?
Haaland has his Heart set on playing in Spain in the near future.Hence why he has bought property there.No idea why this upsets you ?.Of course it isn't evidence,just an indicator, it is well documented, he has told people around him of his career intentions..
If Barcelona/Madrid were not both skint,and could afford to sign Haaland right now, it is highly likely he would be going to Spain at the then end of this season.
As it happens they dont have a Pot to piss in.
Their loss now becomes our gain.
Haaland needs a short term alternative, to activate the paltry below market release clause, not let it expire.
I fully expect he wants to come to us on a short term 3 year contract given his Father connections.Before the lucrative move over to Spain.
No one has said he wont have a change of Heart when he gets here,sign for us,and stay longer.Money and success decides everything ultimately.
It isn't all about Haaland though.As good as a player as he is,any deal has to be good for us as a Club.
We might not be happy with a 3 year contract for one of the hottest property's in the game.It leaves us open to getting screwed over by his agent.We might expect 5 years minimum commitment from the player.
Haaland Agent might see us a stepping Stone.
We as a Club rightly will not view ourselves a stepping Stone.
