If this is true, it blows my mind that City can sell a goalkeeper that has never even got onto the bench for a single PL game for £19m.
Yes a talented keeper who is considered one of the best at his age is worth more. You can't just add up the amount of PL games to value a player..
Also, people always forget about wages.
It's basically impossible to sell players for high fees if they get paid like royals here.
1. receiving club can't pay the same salary so the player is less interested.
2. receiving club has to go over his usual wage structure to get the player. Makes him worth less in fees.
3. selling club (united) wants to get rid of him because of the high annual costs, gives us a worse position in debating the fee.
Same goes for Telles and many others.
