Gotta love RAWK, quick lock the thread when it's bad news!

Never 70m. Media said Berny would be that price and quickly stood down.

Id say 35 with add ons (due to injury) which may lead to 50mi.

70Mil is like saying a billion. This is not an Austin Powers movie.

It was reported in the notes to the accounts that it was 32M. Some rag journalist came up with 42.
It is a criminal offence to knowingly report incorrect information.

It's a bitter pill to swallow, but it was 41.4m. Football Leaks posted the contract online as a PDF file:

What can now be confirmed is that City paid Porto a total of €30.5m (€30,503,590 to be precise) for the 56.67% of Mangala’s sporting rights that the Portuguese giants owned owned. However, the deal didn’t end there. The contract states that City were then obligated to buy out Mangala’s remaining rights from Doyen Sports (33.3% owners) and Danubio (10% owners)...

Using the power of a calculator, we can conclude that City most likely paid a total of €53.8m, or roughly £41.4m, for Mangala – not the £32m that was widely reported at the time.

Was reading his wiki and noticed he signed a 6-year deal May 2016. That will be another reason why the fee will higher than preferred.

Guess its the going rate now for a top class CB but with a 20% premium because its City still the lad does'nt set the price and if he can play like he did for Southampton we have an outstanding player. What a physically imposing partnership him and Vinny will be

What we paid any parties outside of Porto has never been disclosed afaik. People can guess that we paid the same rate as we paid Porto I guess.

This all day, Bernardo price in the media wasn't correct Benfica had been holding out for €60M, didn't get that. Wish folks would stop focusing on the price tag, we already know the media's angle when it comes to reporting us in the transfer market.

Anfield is a fucking sewer; full of morose, boring, whining bastards holding candles.

Edited for accuracy :)
