I wouldn’t be surprised if the 900k figure above was close to the target They saved about 80m on him because of his low buyout clause, so I'm sure they have no qualms of allocating a good portion of that to his salary.

For all the talk of messi, Ronaldo and mbappe getting the insane numbers city have always been relatively sensible payers, their difference is they pay everyone in the squad good money rather than 2 or 3 mega earners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have put a ridiculous offer on the table. As you say, it could be mega goal, win, appearance, title, cup, CL, 10 games, 50 games, 100 games bonuses that add up to insane numbers. Probably the ~£50m a year that is being reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the twit who set those targets wants firing. Those targets for bonus payments probably made sense at the time. Who knew he was going to score this many goals in such a short period of time.

I bet Madrid are raging. They put all their energy into signing Mbappe only for him to mug them off at the last minute. If not they’d have had a proper go at signing Haaland i’m sure.
