The fee for Petrovic is apparently 21.5m? Or thats the one I read. Should be biting their hands off. Unless its changed?
Rodrygo may be a top level player and has still got more to give talent wise but I still think for the 200k + he will be looking for, it is not gonna happen.
Not to mention they are talking between 65-70m as a starting point as a fee and I think that plus bigger wages makes it a bit more difficult for us perhaps. If a few clubs are actively looking at him, it would be very tough to do.
There won’t be many players who leave a good deal at Madrid for some performance based incentive shit that may total 150-200k a week 😂
It would be nice to see but isn’t the BlueCo mantra to develop top players, not buy them?
In this new model though, we aren’t going to break our wage structure very often.
How many players are actually earning 100k a week plus base that have been signed or renewed under BlueCo since the Chuckle Brothers were given free reign? Doubt theres many at all.
Once Sterling goes he is probably the last of any BlueCo signings who was on big money. Doesn’t necessarily mean we will look to spend 200k per week base salary just because we have free’d up £350k a week. Just look at previous seasons whilst we’ve been cutting wages.
