I'll raise you this.

So the deal if all out there is true 150m>Haaland>wages 350k weeks> 17.5m>5 years contract> 87.5m>agent fee>40m= 277.5m

For once not a bad read by Sly Sports News.(standards)

Pretty fair.

City get quite a few mentions.

Erling Haaland: Barcelona and Real Madrid to hold talks with Borussia Dortmund star's representatives

Erling Haaland is contracted to Borussia Dortmund until 2024, with a reported £66m release clause set to come into effect in summer of 2022; Manchester City have been linked with a move for the striker

If they don't sell until next summer, they'll lose a container load of money. No idea what their books look like; are they a fairly well run club?

Suspect match day income must be significant for them... so they’ll have taken a hit during the pandemic and then if they miss the CL next season !

Freeing up £350k from Serg sorts the wages out.

City now have to find the transfer fee, agent, father, family cleaner, and hanger-on fees.

I think its you who need to do the math.

We paid £30m in agents and signed Aké, Torres and Dias during that period. None of them are particularly high profile.

£10m per player. €40m for Haaland sounds about right.

Those agent fees include contract renewals plus a number of player we signed and loaned. So the fees would not actually be close to 10 m per player.

Surely Mino Fatiola won't be allowed inside Etihad offices and it will only be Alf if that news is true. I don't believe we will talk to him just yet unless we are sure of player interested in joining

Im guessing we’ll meet them at our Euston Road offices.

Correct.

United, Liverpool, and Chelsea (obviously) also have offices in London.

Imagine being Haaland, waiting for your dad, and your agent, to get back to you with a briefcase full of transfer, wages, and bonus offers, to discuss with you.

Open the Champagne.

It's a f***ing hard life!

€40M in commission!

Can't see City paying that, considering our stance with agent fees.

Even though we need striker, we should not be desperate in any way. We are about to win the PL at a canter without one.

What stance? We pay top dollar to agents, we will pay what we have to because sadly football is a cut throat business and one club taking a stand just means they lose out. Until regulation comes in, leaches will continue to siphon money out of the game.

It’s confusing because the same poster said later on that the number seemed about right
