Erling Haaland

[DonAK]

Good idea imo. Two year contract is fine. His injuries are a concern and if we sign him it should be a short contract. If he clicks with us we can renew him.

You want to pay 75m to sign him on a two year contract?

If he want a short term contract he can go elsewhere.

No chance they will sign him on a short term contract.

At best would be some kind of compromise with a relatively low release clause after 2/3 years.

 

[serghei]

By short term contract we should make it 4 years instead of the normal 5 .

That will be my guess too

Would be fine with 5 year contract that includes a 150m release clause that can be activated after the 3rd season.

By that point we should have a strong team, recovered financially and some new young strikers should pop up.

 

[Barcilliant]

Three years is fine imo.

Weekly contract. Only extend by another week if he scores a hattrick.

This guy and his/his entourage's financial demands are starting to annoy me.

Messi and CR7 produced Ballon D'Ors, CL, and a couple 50 goal + seasons before they were paid crazy contracts.

Sign for 75m for 5 years. In 2024 release clause of 100m becomes active. You taking it?

No. Apparently whole deal will be 250m with salary and commissions. Even if you get 100m back, spend 150 for two years? For what? We're not winning the CL in the next 2 years with or without Haaland.

No the whole deal is being reported as 250m if he was to sign for 5 years and including salary.

If they put in a clause for 100/150m Barca get him for two seasons and at worst make a profit on the books if he was to decide to leave.. but most likely it would be about Raiola wanting money through new contract and the fees.

Salary won't be paid in full if he leaves though. And reports were that his salary would increase each year.

 

[serghei]

I don't think it's worth the hassle. Basically some soap opera drama once every 2 years? Basically some Neymar saga all over again, except with Raiola as Neymar Sr.

There isn't a linear progression to CL/ a team "arriving". No one predicted Chelsea winning last season's CL with Tuchel coming in half way through. Even now they have mostly good players but not a roster of amazing players.

One of the foremost ingredient to winning a CL from 2022 onwards is playing high intensity football and that seems to be coming back and improving with Xavi. And then we need 3-4 world class players, supplemented by mostly good players.

Bayern is on the decline IMO. Liverpool, remains to be seen. City might get fatigued under Pep after 6 years. We wouldn't be favorites but 2 top signings and some good free agent business and we are right in the mix as that next tier of dark horses.

I wrote many times that I think he's not interested in staying a long time here. I'd say 5 years is normal and he would then fuck off.

2-3 years contract is just taking the piss and basically saying he doesn't give a shit about Bar?a and he wants money/fame
