Of course not, but if someone is stupid/desperate enough to pay it then god bless.Is an agent’s job so difficult that it warrants all that money?
Why the players are ok with is is a better question - it obviously eats into their economics at some point.

If you add the reported agent + father fees , thats still €45m total cost.
which is still good deal for whoever get Haaland.
He is on eight million euros a season, and he justified that salary instantly without needing a full season to adapt to new country, league, manager...etc

It the release clause is next summer as well so only really a short term deal? City wouldn’t go for that either

If the reported fees ( to his dad & agent ) were true, than few additional millions could remove that clause.
Chelsea missed on Aguero because they rejected to pay 5 million to his agent.
City missed on Hazard because of 6 million agent fees.
It seems agreeing with agents is the biggest challenge to get any player.
Still missing the point. He wanted to go to Dortmund because it's one of the best clubs in world football to go develop and because they agreed to give him an affordable release clause so that in 18 months he can choose to go wherever he wants on a massive wage.If you add the reported agent + father fees , thats still €45m total cost.

I know it's never been done but if Haaland (striker) did come here could we see very fluid interchanging with Sterling (left winger).
Haaland could provide a very similar outlet to Sane if he was prepared to rotate with Sterling down the left hand side, especially if we had a natural winger like Torres down the right wing. Just a thought and it's something Haaland would have to be convinced to do, very few strikers with his goalscoring record would be open to the idea but if anyone could convince him it's Pep.

I’m not sure that he has it in his repertoire to play the wing game. Haaland is the type of striker who’s just OK enough technically, but balanced by being such a clinical finisher, that any manager including Pep can find tactics to exploit his ability. Pep would have to play around him almost; he wouldn’t be doing fancy false 9 play like Messi. Now this doesn’t mean that he would set the team up so that Haaland only touches the ball for the final pass, or only receives the ball in the box. Haaland can put wingers into play and stuff but he’s not gonna play like Sergio and Gabby.I know it's never been done but if Haaland (striker) did come here could we see very fluid interchanging with Sterling (left winger).

Sterling can do all those things and is technically talented enough to provide that option through the middle. Haaland appears to have the natural ability to time his runs and if he's capable of producing clinical finishes, he's capable of producing clinical crosses, just like Sane and he's naturally left footed.I’m not sure that he has it in his repertoire to play the wing game.

We would have to adapt to his style to some extent and he would undoubtedly have to adapt to our style but there's potential for a few different options with him. Although like I said it would boil down to Haaland's openness to the idea, most strikers are naturally selfish and naturally want to score the goals themselves rather than create goals for the team.
