Usually when there is a transfer fee the agent commission is inclusive of the transfer fee. Well it seems Raiola with Haaland is trying to take his fee on top of next years buyout clause, and Neymar's daddy done this too with the Santos deal. But generally this is how it works with transfer fees- above the table.
Someone like Mino just totally breaks the system and makes his fee's act like unofficial third party ownerships.
Juve offer is reportedly 10m net wages, 20m to Mino and 3m to Donnarumma father. That is alot of money for us. And alot of salary cap if Stegen is not leaving. If we are selling Stegen for 50m+ then of course it makes financial sense.
By comparison Milan are signing Maignan from Lille for 13m reportedly + 2m in bonus fees. So less than what Donnarumma will cost on a free transfer. Not making it a Donnarumma versus Maignan thing, just showing that a decent player transfer (1 year left on contract ofc) can be less than an expired Mino client.
If Mino had Maignan he would probably cost 15m this year, and 15m next year despite being expired. Obviously that is not how things should work.
To conclude, Raiola and his fee's are the exception not the norm, and should be ignored unless absolutely necessary. Like when getting a talent like Haaland (or Neymar before for us). Not Donarumma (again unless we had planned to sell Stegen for big money and had interested clubs and offers on the table- which we don't).
