Why is Haaland on a six? 5 is the longest we’ve handed out in one contract

In recent times we sign a lot of our players to 6 year contracts:

- Laporte - 6 years (signed after 1 year at the club)

- Ben Mendy - 6 years

- Grealish - 6 years

- Palmer - 6 years

- Dias - 6 years (signed after 1 year at the club)

- Bernardo Silva - 6 years (signed after 1 year at the club)


Anyone young with potential we try and protect the asset with more years. We could well end up signing him for 5 years then give him a bumper the next year thatll extend him to 7 in total. When City are paying £100m+ theyd ask for 6 years just so the player doenst leave for a free in 5 years. Its a return of bargaining power in return for better fees etc.

Only grealish was actually 6 years, the rest were extensions on existing taking it to 6 years.. i can see them offering Haaland 6 though, agreed.

No one will pay him 1m a week

£64m buyout
20m agent fee
20m dad fee
20m Haaland sign on fee
150m Haaland 6 year contract

= £274m Total

Bargain.

i think they would... barca madrid would defo and without blinking

i think manchester city can be very clever and get puma to part sponsor the deal and get him to be the leading figure with puma merchandise. but if manchester city really want to take on the big clubs in europe and get the best players then we have to start paying top wages ?

manchester city if the truth be told was ready to pay ronaldo near £1million a week to come and play for us ?

Actually, when Sam Lee says we are “prepared to fight until the end”, I read that as participating in a war. In a way, the way we kept improving our Kane offers to Levy was almost that already, despite people claiming we never go beyond our valuations

valuation is not the issue here ? its the wages reported that madrid and maybe barca are willing to pay.
manchester city will try and sell the project to haaland and working with pep also would be a selling point.
but the truth is its about wages ? if somebody offers crazy money how can you turn it down when its your future sorted.

i do feel haaland wants manchester city but also wants the sort of money he can get elsewhere and why not ?
we all would do the same thing with family first

Like break it down

£125m fee / 5 years = £25m

£400k wages = £20.8m a year

Kanes per year cost = £46.8m


----------------

I expect City to sign Haalnd for 6 years.

Haaland = £64m + £40m in fees / 6 = £17.3m

Haaland Wages 500k = £26m a year

Haaland per year cost = £43.3

Then you look at the age. Haaland 4 years in will be 25 years old costing us £43.3m a year. Kane would be 33 years old costing us £46.8m a year. I definitely know who id rather be dumping all that money into. Not to mention If Haaland signed a new deal half way through those fees get further spread out. City might only amortise the transfer fee too and put the signing on bonuses in a yearly hit.

I wasn’t talking about valuation with respect to this situation, but generally about how people will say “we don’t do X” about things we pretty much do
Also I should note here that in Spain they claim they can’t compete with our money, which is funny, when people here claim the opposite. I believe there is a misunderstanding about the current wages the Spanish teams are paying, but let’s not go there. Bottom line is, we are competitive and as Sam Lee said this Monday, the financial side isn’t an issue.

Mendy, Grealish and Palmer (first professional contract) were all 6 years. Either way even if it was 5 years the amortisation wont be much more. Itll be around 4m extra a year. Nothing that would break the bank.
 
Really getting hopeful about this

getting to the point where signing any other striker will be underwhelming
 
How about this...City "targeted" Kane last Summer because they knew Levy would never go for it...they knew they would face intense scrutiny and pressure from the fan base if they moved into another season without a recognized 9 but they also knew Haaland was unattainable last Summer so they staged the great Harry Kane chase with no plan B...they could then say "Hey, we tried"...they would have taken a one year flyer on Ronaldo but only on the cheap on their terms...Haaland has always been their target...Pep knew he could compete one more year without a 9 and was willing to go thru another year to get Haaland...they could have easily moved for any of a whole bunch of solid strikers rather than Kane from both within and outside of the Prem but they weren't going to invest in anyone but Haaland...now we sit 10 points clear in the league and thru to the CL knockouts with the chance to move for Haaland 4+ short months away...and funny how just 4 months on we are no longer pursuing Kane...Its always been Haaland all along...
