Great , perhaps he can bring Lenglet with him ................................................ or not
Tfft I thought it was just me being weird.
Erling Haaland signs for Borussia Dortmund from Red Bull Salzburg
Sky Sports News understands United met Haalands €20m release clause but refused to meet conditions for the transfer
This alludes to their already being a clause in EHs contract when he first joined BVB.
I can't find reference to the exact amount, but it was always accepted that BVB only got the jump on him as from day one the clause meant that they'd only have him for a short period of time and wouldn't make a massive profit on him.
It was all meticulously managed by Raiola from day one.
> RBS - 8m release clause
> BVB - 20m release clause
> Man C - 60m (reduced to 50m)
A release clause of 100 - 150m (whatever you said it was) would have hampered all that strategy; but it also wouldn't have put off Man U from buying him in 2019 as the much higher amount would have only reflected his perceived future value anyway.
What a sad reflection on football!!
Or Paulinho.
Makes for an interesting comparison to his compatriot and similarly aged wunderkind Odegaard who signed long-term for the glitz and glamour of Real Madrid at a tender age and then got lost in a kaleidoscope of loan moves for a number of years.Erling Haaland signs for Borussia Dortmund from Red Bull Salzburg

Talent wins out at the end of the day, but a smart young player in this day and age can control their career in a way that wasn't previously considered.
Again...... How much for would aid or damage the credibility of such a rumour.......
(As per earlier in the discussion the Haaland/Raiola strategy was keep his trf fee as low as poss using clauses.......... If his clause is eg 100m now; there's no way it was the same or even more in 2019.)
Not disputed that (and certainly not 'defending' the spending of City! LOL)...... Just pointing out that wages and agent fees are a factor for every trf so it's a rapidly slippery slope to start factoring them into some club's net spend and not others.

Been on my wish list for a while, just behind Vlahovic but well behind Osimhen
Not too excited by that tbh, he’s both expensive overrated and not at all suited for the Premier League but fair enough
In terms of trf fee....... £51m (presumably €60m)
The fact remains factoring in wages and agent fees for one club but no-one else is a slippery slope that renders the net spend comparisons moot.

Money, money, money!!!
It's moot. The idea of a 150m clause at BVB doesn't stack up... It would have been completely at odds with the path Raiola put in place.
Maybe we can get him on loan for 25-ish months. If Barcelona subsidise half his waves.
I agree with all that, I was only speaking about true cost of a transfer, haaland is a special case due to the way he set up his contract. Mbappe would be the same
I though after bailing on Villa he professed his dedication to FCB.......?
All sounds a bit odd....
Said before though; is he really the guy for us?
Barca is hardly the Spurs model........
