Those recent reports of him wanting to "lead the team he joins" possibly hold weight?

Lol come on. I’m even curious how you envision a request in that direction could possibly be. He would request to be the team captain? Seriously

I'm just throwing stuff out there that i've read that is non monetary, laughable as it may seem.

The only other thing i can see is guarantees around pep. I don't see that though because he was wearing his city shirt years before pep arrived.

He could, but why wouldn't you ask who you are playing for. Everyone is saying he would move here for the team, the style etc and to get better under Pep, if Pep is out of contract 12 months after you arrive, wouldn't you want some indication of the plan first?

I would at least ask tbh.

He could ask, but my point was more that we can't guarantee anything. Our current plan may be to get Pep to sign for another 5 years, but Pep might have other ideas. Or things might go tits up and we need to sack the manager (unlikely). Or we may already have another manager lined up, but they decide they prefer Madrid or Barca. Point is, he can ask, but we can't promise him anything that should really sway his decision

what's not plausible about him making that request? Mbappe made the exact same request of PSG and they said yes, that was his condition for signing.

Do you have a link for this? I’m struggling to see how that happened given Madrid wanted him last summer and he’s finishing his contract at PSG already anyway

Hence it is also quiet from me.

Haaland has made a request of City that I'm not sure we can deliver at this moment in time.

It's not monetary.

Unable to say much more than that, sadly.

Is it a piano on the Colin Bell stand roof but H&S have knocked it back due to potential ice and strong winds , but come the summer with the better weather we could accommodate it ;)

If it’s about Pep (or a guarantee around the next manager), I can see it being something his father would request. After all, he sees himself as an expert in football management and would care about this stuff

We could guarantee that even if Pep leaves, we’ll still get a better manager than Ancelotti or Xavi hehe... (and I like Carlo, but it’s 2022...)

I've heard from a very reliable source that he wants 'Prima Nopta' rights to be granted to him after signing. The club were actually ok with it, but he wanted it backdating to 2010 which means he'd get to pump the wife of anyone married after 1January 2010. It appears the club aren't happy with this clause....

Don’t think Brendan Rodger’s is a better manager than Ancelotti.

Most of the reports around Peps successor point to Rodger’s, for some reason city like him if reports are to be believed.

I certainly don’t believe those rumors, but if I’m a player looking to come here, I would make sure they aren’t in fact true
