Fantastic achievement. Wish him all the very best, regardless of how it goes in the Premier League, hope he keeps progressing and learning along the way.
100 mil euros apparently, and worth every penny. Odd I remembered it being less, probably confusing the fee with Haaland's.

I'd have thought any compensation paid would be only to reduce his gardening leave, was not expecting a "transfer fee".
Well in my case, when I resigned from my previous company, I just handed-in my resignation, agreed to leave in two months instead of the standard three, and that's that.
Of course this was in France, and whilst I qualified as staff with access to...
