we’re allergic to spending more than £70 mil on a player ffs

That’s around £125m. He’s easily worth that and if we’re serious we should pay it or someone else will

Also got the sancho clause we can use we’ll get him hopefully I’m confident now

No problem, then, a clause that allows the future sale of Sancho to specific clubs is waived by 40% in exchange for reducing the value of Haaland’s price, and thus its price becomes 60 million instead of the current price, according to the newspapers and what is circulated.

We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to get in a generational superstar at the exact time we need to replace our clubs all-time scorer. On top of that his father played for us, and for once we can actually say a signing grew up supporting us. Its now or never!

Let’s be honest City won’t pay double what his release clause is to get him a summer earlier, the club is too well run for something like that to happen especially when we’re still winning the league this season without a top number 9
