They could be right but just hang on for more details later. It's possible it includes all bonuses and sign on fee etc especially from a source that would go with the narrative 'hey, look how much he needs to be paid to leave the bundesliga'.

Has he signed?
New kit launch was today, we play tomorrow, still a load of PR stuff and details to sort out with the deal also you'd imagine. I think it will be Friday but there's a lot of people in the know saying that the 10th deadline is much more relaxed than we're being led to believe which means the parties involved thinks this might take a week or so to work everything out.
The announcement video is going to be all kinds of insufferable isn't it
Fingers crossed it involves CGI windmills and him riding in on a donkey.
I think Sancho's reported wages are pre tax, the others you've mentioned are post tax.
I'm speculating though.
If they do a "welcome to Manchester" reveal it will be cringe worthy
Pretty sure the 10th was purely to make sure talks start.
It won't need to be actually signed/sealed by then, they just wanted time to find and sign a replacement. They know it's 100% serious so no need to rush.
I'm backing it to be the 7th, lots of nonsense will come out in the meantime though.
No way Rashford and Martial are on £400k pre tax
Cool, that schedule makes a lot of sense.
Throw in a clown suit, a tractor engine, a giant bowl of guacamole and we'll have the party to end them all.
Gun' be good.
Yep. Haven't given up hope yet.
Video with Sancho playing the piano in 3...2...1....
Yeah this will, the pace at which it had moved in past two days and I think there are more chances get announced later in the day.
This is gold!
Thank you for the laughs kind sir.
“Manchester is Red” or “Sancho is Red”.
It’s probably a bit small time but it would be nice if he said how proud he was to join “Manchester” kept refering to us as “Manchester“ in his unveiling interview.
Never forget.
2 weeks
Nope. I’m guessing friday.
When is your prediction for Romano confirmation
Would be good to have a video of him pissing on a Man City top or chasing a tiny bird dressed in a Liverpool top away from its perch
Would love this announcement. But with Sanchez still on the piano and his kit glitching yellow and red.
Then when its stopped glitching it's sancho with number 7. That would be cool af!
Thursday.
Yes primarily envy if I am honest. They do a great job.
No way we're mad enough to pay him 300k a week.
I hope any of our potential signing announcements are as low key as last year. Just say we've signed the kid, give him the #7 and and interview and move on.
To me, doesn't seem to be the year to shout about how much money you've just sp*nked on a player. Do it with some class United, please.
I hope they get ironic with it.The announcement video is going to be all kinds of insufferable isn't it
Have a full socially distanced orchestra preparing their instruments. Ole walks into the room and says "Stop it, Ed." as we see the composer, Ed Woodward, turn around with a sad face. Then flash to a simple picture of Sancho holding the shirt.
Sounds like Friday is looking likely. My body is ready!
Shame @Olly Gunnar Solskjær has left the caf.
This.
Very tasty on paper too. No 7 shirt ready and waiting for him.
€17.6m per year before tax right? That would be just over €200k a week after which is what, £180k a week?
If we are paying him that I wonder what Fernandes will be after at his contract renewal. Right now Bruno is on less than Luke Shaw and Sergio Romero.
Its pure lunacy given that Rashford, Martial, and Greenwood will now want the same.
On the other hand....300k a week may seem reasonable for top players in a couple of years, which if we're locking him into contract for 5 may at that point not seem so excessive.
We've watched the prices rise steadily for good players, it wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination to see wages correlate with that kind of rise.
I am expecting a basic salary of around 200k, similar to the one Rashford is getting, and up to 250k including bonus.
I personally, don't think this will happen but who knows at this point. I still rather have a bigger buffer available for us to be able to bump his contract every in case his performances merits it, keeping his motivation on toes.
