Bit different when dealing for a £10m player that's merely intended for loan or future squad than for a marquee signing like De Ligt which will include massive agent fees, big wage and overall fees.
Could still be interested but Raiola is definitely not someone we deal with for big signings. Fairly sure news came around that he offered Pogba to us too.
That's apparently a reputable Catalunya journo who knows Pep. And per him, in by principle City have not asked about de ligt because it involves dealing with someone who insults the coach and the club.English please
Hard to believe the whole Raiola bit still. I do think the wages is definitely something off putting for City but aside that Raiola is merely a mediator to get the deal across the line. His actual agent is some really old Dutch guy.
It could just be a way for City to keep everything low-key in trying to negotiate, as they don't have many centre half targets and have yet to deny or come out with 'no interest' in player. Reach maybe but you never know.

You're right it is different, theres 100 phillip Sandlers out there, if the club didnt want to deal with Mino Raiola they could have signed any one of the other talented but not good enough for City yet 21 year olds out there.
You cant have a principle of not dealing with someone and then happily deal with them.
