Madrid didn’t want him, so not seeing your point. Morata has 2 years left on his contract and his fee was agreed pre COVID.
it was your assertion he was always going to BM which was always the likely destination but transfers have been hijacked previously . still think £42m seems cheap(ish) though will only know when window is over .
Bayern was his choice, the move had been on the cards for about a year. In terms of the fee, I’ll wager there aren’t many higher this year.
Brighton v Utd. Utd 1 nil up theyare attacking and the ball goes out of play by at least a foot but they play on and score. VAR decides it is a good goal !!!
Not really there hasn’t. 2 fiddled for FFP reasons in a p/ex. Morata was pre agreed & Werner was a release fee.
If Sane had refused to negotiate terms then Man City wouldn't gave much choice. The alternative is to let him run his contract down and leave for nothing
A release fee is the maximum that will get paid (why would the buying club pay more?), its not a set in stone amount to be paid. The player could be sold for less should the selling club choose to.
His club didn’t want to sell him, and were at the mercy of a release fee. You think they’d have sold him for that amount given the choice? My point was about post COVID fees this year, and £40m+ for a bloke in the last year of his deal won’t look out of kilter come the end of the window imo. If you and the Kopites would rather believe Citeh have had their kecks pulled down, then crack on.
It’s a fee that releases the player from his contract. A fee that the parent club can’t refuse. I’ve no idea what your actual point is in relation to Werner.
I , as i have said a number of times previously , expect a much reduced transfer market but i think Sane is a top talent & as such £42m may well come to be seen as a bargain .
Also a risk, given he’s not played since doing his cruciate has he? He’s a player I rate like, and he could come back exactly the same player he was before, we’ll see.
