Good for Dortmund. I'd love to know how they intend to not sell to us if/when Haaland tells Raiola and his father that he wants to join City.

The reasoning that this is all so very personal for Dortmund and that they absolutely despise City just seems ludicrously far fetched. If they hate City so much do they equally hate Barcelona who tapped up Dembele before he went on strike to force a move? How many clubs do Dortmund hate? Are they really such a special club that they can sit in an ivory tower telling their buy to sell squad that there are in fact places those players can't go because the CEO doesn't like the colour of their skin or their money.

It is bollocks. Haaland will go where he wants. The noise is just noise.

As I said at the time mate, I hope you're right. But at the same time, I think there's a danger of underestimating the resentment a lot of clubs around Europe feel towards us.

And as to your point about Haaland going where he wants, I agree up to a point. But hypothetically, if Barca put an offer on the table that pretty much matched ours in terms of wages, bonuses, agent fees, sponsorships etc. and Dortmund made it clear they'd prefer he go there, do you honestly believe Haaland would not even consider it? I'm not 100% convinced the player power is as strong with this one as you believe.

As I said, really hope you're right with this. Time will tell.

If thats really the valuation we should be all over this

That's a big old valuation range.

From what I know of Dortmund, they like the selling agent to also act for them. Did it with Mkhitaryan.

This circus tour from Mino and Alf is exactly that.

Instruction to procure and then present offers to them, despite public protestations to the otherwise they are not considering a sale.

Dortmund don't want to deal with City and will only do so when they can see what other clubs can propose as an alternative.

It's a Hail Mary to sniff out something more palatable than us. Mino wants to get paid twice.

What have we done to upset Dortmund???

I doubt the fee would be an issue if that's what it'd cost for Mbappe. His wages would be, though, and also the fact he's fucked us off in the past.

Lol, it just means 150M for us, 120M anyone else
