This is where Haaland gets my respect. He's got his head screwed on and he's looking after no.1 by insisting on a low (in footballing terms) release clause. The buying club get him cheaper because of said clause which means they are more likely to accept a similar clause in their agreement. This means Haaland never gets priced out of a move if he wishes fur change.
Of course, it helps to be a top in demand player
in the end yes, he and his "agents" have known exactly what they were doing every step.
They've gone to salzburg and exploded on the scene and have then chased CL exposure with the dortmund deal but knew he'd be able to look great there in the german league. The contract signed has hugely advantageous terms for haaland to move on from.
Nobody got him from salzburg as basically nobody was willing to meet the terms they wanted or the next step OR they really planned it out to scalp the **** out of everyone this way.
He is now what? 21 earning 132k per week in British money apparently which is "enough to get by" while building his profile.
The scaping is incoming now. Riola wants 50mil. Seemingly some of this MIGHT be spilt with daddy dearest who did a deal to sell his own child to the human trafficker that is this agent. Haaland apparently wants 500k a week minimum.
Compare to what harry kane and delle alli did at spurs. Both signed ultra long contracts with small increments being put on by levy.
at 22 delle alli signed what was in effect a 6 year deal (5.5 given the timing) with spurs. he was on 100k a week reputedly. That's tantamount to incompetence from his agent.
In 2018 kane did the same. He signed a 6 year deal worth 200k a week he was 24/25 at the time. He signed his career away.
look at jude bellingham. he is 18. we was on 50k a week as a kid. he has signed an extension out to 2025 and apparently is now on 80k a week as an 18 year old with 3 years to go at dortmund where he gets all the exposure in the world
Bellingham should be advised to sign no more deals at dortmund and to start preparing for the big big time. He is going to absolutely mint it if he can get the exposure and the right deal at the end of this contract.
