Saul signed a 10 year deal with Atletico but I agree with you that Haaland won’t agree to longer than a 5 year deal, nor should we sign him to a deal longer than that. It would be a huge risk for both sides.

Whilst I am not disagreeing with much of what you say, I cannot see him signing a 10 year deal with us. I think the longest contract ever signed was Messi signing for 9 years. There may be others, I am not sure.
But either way, the lad may want to come to City - I certainly hope he does - but we have to be realistic and understand that we are not the darling club that everyone wants to play for forever. We have the bluest of blue tinted specs on. Players are always interested in playing for Real or Barca or Bayern, or (dare I say it) United. I cannot see a 20 year old agreeing to tie his entire prime footballing years to us, straight off. I think it will be a 5 year deal, if we get him.
its has to be long term maybe 5 years at first then options for another 3 to 5 years
we have to sign haaland and get it 100% water tight no loop holes and a buy out clause of £500million or more

the thing is the club can not lose him if we sign him and he smashes the premier league in his first 3 or 4 seasons
so like i just said maybe a 5 year deal with options for 3 or 5 more and a crazy buyout clause of £500million or more
we don't want another sane with munich ? so if we sign haaland it stops somebody trying to nick him for peanuts
but haaland is a blue and if city and pep want him why would he want to move elsewhere

Kun first came on good money with the promise of increases if he settled and was successful, the club were true to their word and consistently rewarded him with significant wage increases and contract extensions.
The same will apply to Little Alf, prove your worth and fulfill your obvious potential and he will not want for medals, money or satisfaction.
I was under the impression he was on 225,000 a week and stayed on that.

Wasnt ederson given a 6 or 7 yr contract when he arrived? Guess its slightly different with goalkeepers howeverPlease correct me if I’m wide of the mark but iirc the longest player contract allowed under the current system is 6 years but you can renew as often as you like though not for longer than 6 years at any juncture.
I’ve never heard of a 10 year player contract in Europe.
Not saying they haven’t ever happened or don’t happen elsewhere but not to my recollection.
Lewandowski first season at Dormund and the Bundesliga was the 2010/2011. He played 41 games and scored 9 goals. He was older than Haaland is now.
You cannot compare them.
Haaland had a very developed body already in a young age whereas Lewandowski was the smallest of his teams during the youth times and just was not "ripe" that early. Genetics! And in 2010/11 the first striker was Lucas Barrios and Lewy mainly played second striker/no. 10. Lewy is a player that is super professional - that worked on his body and his play very much to get where he is - he lives and eats very professionally - and actually even got better in the recent 3 years.
Six, yes.Wasnt ederson given a 6 or 7 yr contract when he arrived? Guess its slightly different with goalkeepers however
Yep. Saul still has 5 years left on his 9 year deal, and his form is in the shitter right now. Signing anymore than 5 years is a gigantic risk. The club can't sell if the player's form drops, there's also the risk where the player loses motivation to fight for a new contract.Saul signed a 10 year deal with Atletico but I agree with you that Haaland won’t agree to longer than a 5 year deal, nor should we sign him to a deal longer than that. It would be a huge risk for both sides.
Another example is Kepa, who still has 4 years left on his deal.
If/when Haaland signs, 5 years would be good. Alot can change in football in 5 years.

We don't do buy out clauses.

Mendy signed a 6 year but apparently we had to structure it as a 5 year deal with an extra year option.Wasnt ederson given a 6 or 7 yr contract when he arrived? Guess its slightly different with goalkeepers however

Yep. They're an awful idea for anyone outside of leagues where they're mandatory. We are subject to the Webster ruling as are all uefa affiliated clubs but there's a gentleman's agreement not to use it.We don't do buy out clauses.

I agree although I think we can do release clauses or at least could.
Pretty sure when we signed KDB, he also signed a 6 year contract.Wasnt ederson given a 6 or 7 yr contract when he arrived? Guess its slightly different with goalkeepers however

I fail to see any relevance ? Different player,different time, different manager ....Lewandowski first season at Dormund and the Bundesliga was the 2010/2011. He played 41 games and scored 9 goals. He was older than Haaland is now.

David Ornstein has done a pod today for The Athletic, he says he has good sources at City and they are not interested. Kane and Lukaku are also going to be round the £100m fee.
I’d take this Patson Daka from Salzburg. Ings and Silva also come into the equation as cheaper alternatives.
Whilst a striker is overdue, it is worth noting than next year Haaland, Mbappe and Neymar, could all be going at bargain basement prices.

The club wouldn’t want to sign him to a deal beyond that because if he flops or gets seriously injured and no one comes in for him then it’s a huge outlay with minimal returns.the thing is the club can not lose him if we sign him and he smashes the premier league in his first 3 or 4 seasons
so like i just said maybe a 5 year deal with options for 3 or 5 more and a crazy buyout clause of £500million or more

but haaland is a blue and if city and pep want him why would he want to move elsewhere
Likewise, Haaland won’t want to commit such a large chunk of his career to a club he hasn’t yet played for. He (and his agent) would also want to be able to negotiate additional contracts in the future, receiving a signing fee, higher wages and/or better terms on each occasion.
No issues with signing him to a 3/4/5 year deal. 2 years before his deal expires the club would start negotiating an extension provided that it’s what all parties wanted, at which point new terms could be negotiated.
Re a buyout clause, top clubs outside of Spain don’t insert these into their contracts. Ultimately if Haaland wanted to leave then we would either have to sell him, convince him to stay or he would leave on a free transfer when his contract expired.
Whilst I understand your point re Sane and agree that it was frustrating, he didn’t want to be here and we would’ve sold him the summer prior to the one he left had he not got injured and we would’ve got a decent fee for him. It was just unfortunate that he did his ACL and the fee dropped significantly as he only had a year left on his contract and was coming back from a long-term absence. If Haaland wanted to leave at some point in the future, we wouldn’t stand in his way. Chances are we would sell him two years before his contract expired in such a scenario, like we would’ve done with Sane

5 years would be ideal as we would get 3 years out of him, at which point if all parties wanted to extend we could negotiate a further dealYep.

If I may quibble that would be a two year extension added on to the five years remaining. :)7 year extension less than 12 months after joining for Eddie.
