It's Quiet 16 - Txiki grinders

The more I'm seeing about hallands demands his agents demands also I see he is now starting to pick up Injuries too I hope we walk away. Hopefully alvarez comes in and say maybe another back up ie schick or maybe a 3 or 4 Yr stint off kane if we can get him for 60/70m

Some very big news from Haaland end.

Haaland and Mino are refusing the huge buyout clause Madrid are proposing.

To the point, they have told them
they want nothing to do with any golden handcuffs deal.

City are still alive here...

I mean even the bench players at Madrid have huge release clauses. Why not just sign a 5 year contract and leave for free at the end of it?

 

[SPIDERBOY]

He admires Zlatans career and how he's played for many clubs. He said in a interview its something that fascinates him. With Madrid putting a huge clause that would end any dream of hopping club to club.

That'll be the "Raiola Way"...10 clubs over about a 22 year career.
Longest at any club was 4 years at PSG,I think.
3 at 2 other clubs,and the rest 2 or less years.
Raiola being his agent is my concern.
You never know when he's gonna upset the apple cart.

 

[Jimmy_01]

Whatever it is they are insisting upon, Mino and Alfie don't like it one bit.

It's a deal that essentially takes him off the market until early 30s.

not really, if he signs a 5 year contract now he’d be 26/27 with a year left on his contract there. Now the release clause could be a billion but if he refuses to sign a new contract Madrid would either have to sell him then or lose him for free the next summer.

If its over a release clause, it'll get sorted out.

Lost hope on Haaland, don't think he'll turn up here :(

Hope I'm wrong.

This had nothing to do with Raiola and everything to do with the player

I would love to see Haaland leading the line for us but unfortunately think this has Madrid all over it.

I can’t see the length of contract and buy-out clause stopping the whole deal. When Madrid want someone they normally get what they want.

I also don’t like the sound of a star striker staying at a club for only 3-4 years, City have made it clear they only want players who want to play for the shirt… doesn’t seem to fit our transfer policy if Haaland will have his eye on a move after 2 years.

Hoping I’m wrong of course, I think having Haaland would be the missing piece of the jigsaw puzzle.
Haaland under Pep would be insane.

So if Haaland joins Madrid. Who's left

Darwin Nunez
Joao Felix
Harry Kane

Or will City surprise us with someone who we haven't been linked with like Jonathan David.

Tony Martial.

How long were Sané and Ferran Torres here?
People are assuming that he would get here and leave in a few years. Why would he leave if he were winning for club and individual awards, being a star, making money from the club and off the pitch? It’s absolutely not a given that he would leave

I insist that Haaland will not join Real Madrid
