Mino wants a clause in his next contract if that is to be believed, he has one in his Dortmund one but he promised Dortmund he would stay for 2 years which in January he has.

could do the same with his next club I’ll sign for you, for 4 to 5 years then let me have a clause for this much money etc.

Mino and Haaland are not stupid. Just think this is where football is going with players. They know clubs won’t let them leave if they want to go example of this is Kane, with a release clause that issue is gone and a player can sign for who he wants when he wants to.

The club that doesn’t want to sell might not like it, but they will get the clause fee to reinvest in player/ Players that would want to join. Example Grealish 100 million clause payed Aston Villa invested in some quality players with the money.

Gives the player more Control over his career. If he’s at a club that is not meeting his ambitions.

Spot on mate.

Appreciate you noting this as this is something I've alluded to regularly in other threads for some time and believe should be understood by fans, or at least considered when we are looking at understanding and analysing player movement, along with club decision making in the near future.

From what I understand with release clauses, outside of being required in Spain, are traditionally added as a way to prevent a player from leaving for a lower value than the market may dictate.

However, as we are seeing with Haaland's clause and Grealish's, something I agree will likely become increasingly common for star players in football, I suspect we will see them more frequently used as a way for the most sought after players to enjoy more agency in their careers, and prevent being in the situations Kane, Messi, or even Mbappe were in, because they are so valuable but owners pushed back more so than ever (perhaps arguably in part due to COVID).

Levy and owners of bigger than most clubs, but less powerful than the elite "won" the battle summer 2021, and whilst Spurs will still attract players and do well, I do wonder if the chances Levy will ever be in such a position again will decrease significantly. He may even be aware if this, and hence why he dug in and assessed it as better to just keep Kane as may struggle to keep someone of his quality for so long anytime soon.

The events with Kane, Messi, Mbappe's failed moves will just likely confirm what Raiola and other agents were aware of and will emphasise strongly with their most important clients. "Focus on your career first because the clubs will not offer you the same love in return if things go badly or if they stand to gain from blocking your interests."

I'd like to see release clauses become the norm. I'd be happy to see a salary cap too in place of FFP. Stop the likes of U*ited paying out stupid money just to stop a player coming to us.

This is total bs. Messi is on 30 million pounds yearly. Haaland would be nowhere near that (more likely KDB figures). His transfer would be 100 million plus lets assume another 50-60 million in agent fee. Even if we add these figures up, it comes to around 160 million (transfer+agent fees)+100 million (wages)= 260 million in 5 years.

We are never getting him. If this is true , his agent is running haaland career.

He's not. He's got his client a ridiculously low buy out clause and help make Haaland the most sought after player in Europe. This will be a bidding war and we've seen PSG and Madrid act recklessly this window alone. A top club will pay a stupid amount for Haaland. Raiola has simply done a brilliant job.

Ive just thought about this i think thats including what ever fee Dortmund would want this year. Next year im guessing it would be more like a 350 mil deal for 5 years.

Yes but with the clubs paying a reduced fee Raiola will ask for even more commission and higher wages. That won’t be a saving.

Not if Haaland and his dad have any sense, they will stick with the talked about €40 mill, and be sensible on wages so they then get to choose the club of choice for football reasons. When I say sensible on wages I ‘m talking € 400,000 ish / week. So £350, 000.

PSG can afford to do it and they’re a power club and no doubt part of it with mbappe was about sending a message to their top stars and to other European clubs that they do not sell or negotiate for their top players.

Dortmund are and always have been a selling club, but they’re also reliant on being in the champions league. They kept Sancho for another year, knowing he’d help them last season and that they’d still get a big fee this summer. My point is, I very much doubt they would have been so adamant Haaland wasn’t for sale all summer if they can lose him in January.

We will find out either way in January. But it’s all moot anyway because City won’t get this deal done when the competition will be Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, PSG & no doubt several others. Not that we aren’t attractive to players but as a club we have been consistently unable to get deals for ready made superstars over the line. Our top players over the last decade or so have become truly world class at City.

I think PSG also just want to win CL.

That's worth keeping him for this season more than the money at the last second of the window.

I think RM knew PSG wouldn't likely go for their offer. Seems if works get Mbappe now, and if nit partially to show Mbappe wants to come to them and perhaps more so undermine their favoured status for CL as well as Messi (who they don't like, of course).
 
FWIW - I dont believe that Haaland is coming to us, nor was he ever coming to us.
He has an agent who we simply dont and never will, gel with, who is also a right greedy twat!
An equally greedy father, who has no allegiance to City, despite what some people think.

I believe that he will either end up at 'The Paris Harlem Globetrotters Club' or 'The Trafford-Salford Harlem Globetrotters Club'.
Despite the latter being the previous home of a despicable Cnut!! Who finished his fathers career.!!

We need to move on and find the next 'Kun' who is out there, but we just haven't uncovered him yet. After all, dont we have a 'famed' worldwide based scouting network? Do youR job then !!
