It's Quiet 16 - Txiki grinders

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...

Could this be related to the news Vlahovic has decided Juve?

Not sure I’m seeing the connection tbh mate.

The news Haaland is in advanced negotiations with Madrid and Vlahovic is off to Juve sounds like a double whammy of bad news to me.

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.

Give him 7 year deal with 5 year buy out or new negotiations, City at least receive £150m if he fucks off?

Wouldn’t bother me if we had him for 2-3 seasons and made a profit on selling him to madrid

...do you think we haven't been discussing contract terms as well? how on earth is this bad news?

people will find a way to find the negative in everything.

after bit more thinking I don't think we are going to go for anyone who is incapable of playing the pep way except for haaland who is an exception. So I am going to think the striker priority will be something like this.

1)Haaland
2)Kane
3)Felix
4)Isaak
5)Nunez

He would obviously want a release clause if he signed with us as well. Having no release clause is basically the same (or worse) as having a super high one.

I'm not sure about that. We do at least have a track record of not forcing players to stay one they've decided they want to leave.

His agent will make sure that his player will have release clause, it doesn't matter if he know that City have very good track record.

Isak

Lewendowski

They might want that, but offhand I can't think of many world class players in the PL who had a release clause... clubs want more certainty for succession planning, and release clauses add risk. But I am likely wrong.

I dont personally see that contact negotiations are at this advanced stage with Madrid to be a bad sign - we're being played off against each other, after all, both clubs will be led all the way down the aisle but someone is going to be left standing at the altar.
