Come off it. They are going to be paying KM an absolute fortune each year and a signing on fee that they have to pay in instalments. It's not like they just get to pay City whatever they like and they aren't exactly able to spend like they did previously. No way he will want to go there on less than KM, no more than Ronaldo would've joined Barca for less than Messi was on.

City would want 200m to even consider discussing it. Madrid cannot afford that.
Haaland had a buyout clause that kicks in 'soon' for clubs outside the PL - rumoured 150 Mill that decreases each year

That is hardly surprising, his last contract he basically wrote whatever number he wanted and was being bribed by a country to stay.

Yeah, he was never going to earn more elsewhere than he did at PSG. He was on €72m/ year at PSG for the last 2 years. There comes a point where money doesn't mean that much vs accolates. It doesn't hurt when you will still be earning insane money and have enough in the bank to never work again for about 5 generations as well.

They still have monstrous egos and want to be paid the most. He's still going to be getting the sort of money per week Messi was on that broke Barcelona and he's still on around 45m euros per year which is a fair bit more than EH is rumoured to be on. No way Haaland goes there for much less. They aint paying for both and Bellingham isn't going to be on scraps.

Quite the controversy in the Real match tonight! Bellingham and Rudiger sent off after the final whistle as the ref blows the final whistle just before a cross that Bellingham headed home what would have been the winner from. Quite hilariously poor decision from the ref to not just blow after the corner was cleared.

Real Madrid football manager Carlo Ancelotti is facing nearly five years in prison after being accused of tax fraud in Spain.

Spanish state prosecutors are accusing the Italian coach of using a "confusing" system of shell companies to hide parts of his income during his first stint at the LaLiga club a decade ago.

I'm probably making this up but don't the Spanish authorities go after rich individuals, threaten jail and then end up getting a whacking great tax payout from them instead.

So basically, extortion
