What, are the endless deliberations by FIFA/UEFA on reigning in these agents going to materialise into some tangible?
Right. Which further emphasises the point I’m making.
Not a chance
Yeah, wouldn't think so either. Seems to be about optics, because regulation could have been put in place already. Just asked because of Sean's comment, but he may mean his dad may not profit from the sale if it's just the release clause next summer. In that case, I could just as well imagine Raiola get him to sign another contract with a release clause elsewhere, because he (and daddy Halaand) will want their money.
Do fully expect him to go this summer though. His dad will be loaded. Can't imagine he made a tenth of that during his career.
Honestly there should be a serious inquiry into the finances around agent work. They should have fees capped at 1% or something as its at a level so far beyond common sense.
Seeing Sterling and KDB do their own contract work gives me hope for the future
I'm afraid it is in fact the opposite. It is in the interest of Dortmund to sell Haaland this summer, because they can get a lot more money (120-150m) than the fixed release clause that comes into effect next summer (75m). On the other hand, it is in the interest of Alf-Inge and Raiola to wait to sell next summer, because the release clause to be paid to Dortmund is fixed and they can sell Erling to whoever is willing to give them the highest signing bonuses and agent fees.
Thus end the "Memphis will replace Haaland" rumours.
I like how the Italian media have finally seen the value in Diogo Dalot. He has been offering them those benefits earlier on in the season, too, except they'd make him out to be useless.

Yeah, this is becoming more and more like the Sancho saga of last summer.
I'm just basing it on the massive attention that he's getting and the questions being asked to Dortmund despite them stating that he's not for sale.
Now that we have a Football Director, our transfer window should look much better....
hahahahahah
hahahahahah
We kinda knew it wasn’t about the money
Youre probably right there. We outbid Real for Bale if the rumours are true. I think Levy is very ABU as well, further limiting any chance of a deal.
it's cute that Levy considers United a direct rival (he wishes)

Levy is not ABU per se, but more to never strengthen EPL team if he can help it
Who will buy Andreas? He'll go on loan again next season then at least we get a loan fee.
Buzzword babble.
Will be crazy. He's not the player United need. We should get
Koundé for about the same money.
I doubt there are any takers for Pereira, who are willing to offer more than 2-3 mil. With regards Dalot - I've read Milan might be willing to keep him, but the proposed fee in the loan contract must be negotiated. I don't know about Chong, nor how he's doing (need to check), but I read that Mata might be offered a new contract. (
I know, right?) Then Brandon won't bring any more transfer fees than Pereira. Matic? Who knows, but his value is neither that high.
While Dalot could earn us up to 10-15 mil, the ones who could sell and free up money are De Gea, Lingard and Bailly.
The football will be just as dull and negative but he won't throw the players under the bus.
Wow, a 5 year deal for a 29 year old with behavioural and injury issues is a bit mad. I know it’s Neymar, and I rate him higher than most, but that’s just asking for trouble.
Yep this is music to my ears. They better not get Nagelsmann.
Offer £85m and call it a win.
bloody hell. Are they purposefully looking for negative football managers?- Status
