if haaland rumours of wanting £500.000 a week. sounds cheap and city should just go out and sign him right now

The problem is - once you get a culture of paying stupid money - as Barca have shown you can’t restrict it to one player. All the better players in the squad - assisted by their agents- want parity or near parity... so give Haaland £500k and KDB et al will want similar - it will amount to huge wage inflation that would have a profound effect on our pay bill.
 
Does anyone know what the deal is with this wage cap in Spain? For example, if Griezmann left but they paid him off or still paid a portion of his wages, would that get him off the books in terms of the rules? Because that might be what the end up doing. Let him join another team, and pay off a big chunk of his wages. It's not gonna help their debts, but it'll mean they can register new players.
It’s about Spanish fa rules. Clubs are given a salary cap before the season starts ie 70% limit for wages against turnover (debt doesn’t matter)
COVID has affected Real and Barcelona as they have empty stadiums so lose a big chunk of income and now carnt even register free transfers as it takes them over

then give him the same wage as KDB ? then make a bonus add-on like goals and targets

It isn't a salary cap as such, it is a spending limit including new signings.

Barcelona's dropped by 42% in one season or 274m Euros in one season, the whole Santander League dropped by 22%.

Therefore you take out the Barca data and they more than double worse off than the rest of the division.

R. Madrid lost 24% and Atletico DM lost 18% over the same time period.
 
what happens with all the people here that said if he was staying he would have signed it by now and the reason he hasnt is because he is coming to City. :)
dont close the topic yet, I think 2023 summer could be the next opportunity to sign him of course that will not be on a free transfer.
