Happy Blue Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 29 minutes ago, Viva la FCB said: Tbf we dont know his wages or bonus structure yet. We always kind of new the transfer fee wasnt going to be the talking point. Simon Stone, BBC Sport City sources say the fee is actually 60m euros (£51.2m), not the 75m euros initially thought. And it is not all payable up front. Haaland will sign for five seasons, to 2027, with no optional additional year as is the case with many contracts these days. The wages are believed to be around £400,000 a week, roughly in line with what star midfielder Kevin de Bruyne is paid. City maintain this is an exceptional deal for a player they believe is worth 200m euros in the current market and that it vindicates their decision to walk away from negotiations around Spurs striker Kane last summer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60819647 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFCMike Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 So City have two players on £400k a week. How many other players are on about that in the league? Ronaldo? Any others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm beginning to lean towards thinking he will leave at the moment and I'm OK with that. We can't be handing out mega money on long contracts to players in their thirties.. it never ends well.

Don't rewrite the truth. Although I saw more expensive transfers, bargain is a stretch. Confirmed at £51 million mate, zee Greman's get it wrong this time ..i really do think it's a bargain, his goals to minutes is the best in Germany, we don't need to buy another striker for 10 years and his true market value must be £150million+ ..even if it was £64 million it's still a bargain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many other players are on about that in the league? Ronaldo? Any others? Spotrac is allegedly a good source for wages... https://www.spotrac.com/epl/rankings/weekly/ Ronaldo, De Bruyne, Sancho (!!!), De Gea, Varane, Lukaku, Grealish, Sterling, Kante, Pogba are top 10. TO be honest, that just purely makes a mockery of how Man Utd operate. Ronaldo is fair enough - one of the best players in the world so any fee would be warranted. But Sancho, Varane and Pogba filling some spots for little return to on-field success is telling. Cavani is on £250k/w. I didn't know Grealish commanded so much as well (£300k/w). Werner is just outside the top 10 - he and Lukaku together earn £577k/w! Saul Niguez is just shy of £200k/w @Tommy is right - the money floating round PL is obscene and absurd. Has been for a while and I can't see it changing any time soon unless a salary cap comes in; but that'll be strongly voted against should that ever come around.

Our teams initially struggled with Northern rules but we have started to get to grips with the rules and competing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
