🚨🗣️ David Ornstein on the actual money Manchester City paid for Erling Haaland:
“The £51 million figure was the release clause paid to Borussia Dortmund. But once you include the reported fees, bonuses and signing-on costs, the total package was considerably higher.
“What makes this interesting is that Manchester City have been involved in complicated transfer arrangements before. Sancho, Bellingham and the Carlos Tevez saga all raise questions about how headline figures can differ from the wider financial picture.
“The €250 million figure being circulated is an allegation, not an established transfer fee. But it does raise one obvious question: when we say City bought Haaland for £51 million, are we really talking about the full cost of the deal?
“After the 114 guilty charge, Liverpool, United, Chelsea, Arsenal and all Premier League will be keen to know.”
🚨 Dortmund sporting director on the record about the 2022 Haaland sale:
“Manchester City never wanted the real number out. That was the first condition they put on the table. Not the release clause everyone printed. The full package.
Officially it was reported as £51 million because that was the figure written into the clause and that was the figure they asked us to stand by.
Internally it was a completely different conversation. When you add the guaranteed payments, the structured extras and what was agreed around the player’s camp, we were looking at something close to €250 million all-in.
That is more than PSG paid for Neymar in 2017. City knew that. We knew that. They did not want Europe talking about it.
They were very clear: if Dortmund confirmed anything above the clause, the deal would become politically messy for them. So there was a private understanding.
We stay silent on the real total. They stay silent. A few people in the media were steered toward the £51m line and that became the official story
I am not going to sit here four years later and pretend we sold the best young striker in Europe for pocket money. We did not. City paid what they had to pay to get him. They just did not want the world to see the receipt.”
🚨 Peter Schmeichel on Kai Havertz challenge
VAR was brought in to correct obvious mistakes, not create new ones every single week.
That challenge is dangerous, reckless and a straight red card all day long. I genuinely don’t understand what they’re watching anymore.
And don’t tell me names don’t matter in football because if that was Casemiro, Caicedo or even Bruno Fernandes making that tackle, social media would explode and the red card would be out instantly.
The inconsistency in officiating is becoming embarrassing.”
