It's £44m. 42 million Euros plus add-ons of 8 million Euros
This is from the official Roma statement.
Salah will join the Premier League side for an initial fee of €42 million. The move will be formally completed when the transfer window opens in England on July 1,” “The deal for the 25-year-old also includes various additional clauses, worth up to a total of €8m, based on the player ......"""""
So as usual the media choosing to run with the base line fee for another club.
You're also talking about one of the better managed clubs out there in Spurs. I don't understand where the criticism comes from. The City takeover was a great day because we knew money was at last going to be spent on the team. What do these critics want? For City to convert it into Pound Coins and build huge towers of money outside the ground? We want players on the pitch, and in time for the coach to work with them in pre-season. And a secondary issue, we don't want to pay the Earth for them when we have FFP regimes trying to trip us up. In my view we do all that - it's not City who paid an agent an extraordinary £20m, or maybe even £40m for one playerAs a club i stand by what i've said in that we are a level above where Spurs are right now.
They are a selling club, end of and like Modric and bale before, Kane and Ali will follow and levy will be powerless to stop it and thats my whole point as most on here laud him as the second coming who holds all the cards and power when in truth, its players who still do and the fact he keeps having to sell them kind of proves my initial point that as clubs, we operate on a different level right now.
I'm actually not sure about Salah. He was very exciting for FC Basle. I remember watching their games on tele and thinking who is this guy. But he was so disappointing at Chelsea....but that was under Mourinho. He since has done well at Roma. It's a bit of gamble but I am sure Klopp has done his research. It is by any measure an extraordinarily expensive deal, and yet the media copy each other with the fee. For Liverpool, the issue of presenting them as dripping with money is not on the media agenda, but for some in the media it is with City, hence our deals always get quoted as the final headline fee, and this one gets understated all the way across the mediaYep, It's actually more than Bernardo Silva and what Liverpool received for Sterling. Both are much better players than Salah.
Couldn't agree more, can never understand the negative talk about he cost this and that. Fact is the club has had a very specific plan they've been rolling out which envolves Pep building a lasting legacy at our club, one that will last longer than his tenure here. Why wouldn't they back him unreservedly. There no point in ruining the bigger picture over £5-£8m.How can you criticise City's spending this Summer?
Top quality players. That's the main things. And the secondary issue of the fees is reasonable.
The most expensive deal for me would be Ederson. Traditionally keepers haven't gone for that much and Ederson a keeper with limited experience and no international record has gone for £35m. But then look what Everton paid for Pickford. As I said above, Salah went for £44m, and we maybe able to get Walker for £45m so you'd have to be harsh to criticise the prices we're paying this window. City are not doing a Spurs and waiting to the end of the transfer mkt to pick up "bargains", we're trying to get our business done first. We always try and do that. That's the way good clubs are run. I don't like the way Levy runs Spurs because he seems to overly concentrate on money which can be short term. The most important thing is to get the football right on the pitch and support the coach.
try taking the points away handed to them by refs whilst playing us. then have a look.Are you sure? We might have better players (in some positions) but we've finished behind them for the last two seasons. Once might be a fluke, but twice, maybe not.
Past windows we ended up spending a lot of money on players who weren't good enough.Couldn't agree more, can never understand the negative talk about he cost this and that.
