Who has actually said this?
I don't understand why you don't think Fulham could achieve similar though, I did see Silva is annoyed as he thought they would spend more though, seems like might be some problems brewing there.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Not saying you are incorrect, but it is down to the club really. Such cases can be considered precedent setters, so clubs likely evaluate them with the utmost carefulness. Regarding the price, Fulham aren't getting a better striker for 20-30mil, so they probably actively want "an offer they can't refuse" and are pushing for big money.
I always wondered what clubs can do to prevent/punish this. Surely there are some mechanisms set in the player's contract.
Several in here have said just that.
That's why, I think he will be one of the first managers sacked. He's also stalling on a new contract.
But he's kicking off because they value him a £52m, at the current rate that is a reasonable price.
He did not struggle to assert himself in the PL last season, he was one of the better strikers and was a big reason why Fulham were top 10 in the league, he got suspended and they fell off.
I would agree but then, thinking about it, I can't name a striker we could get for £50m who has that proven level of goals.
Agree re the uncertainty at Fulham, maybe Silva will be off to Saudi as well
For them he can be the difference between pl football and relegation. 50m is justified for them. It's about how important he is to fulham not how he is perceived outside of fulham.
I hope someone else makes all the big decisions in your life for you...
Joao Moutinho, Di Natale, Jamie vardy, Juninho, even Kane are all players that could and should have played for bigger clubs in their careers and didn't. I dont think a big club not coming in for him means he's can't do the job for a big club. There's a variety of reasons why all those didn't play for big clubs.
How much did Nunez cost and who has the better stats for last season?
Yeah for Fulham. They can put whatever price they want on him.
Only an idiot would pay 50m for him.
I hate you for making me defend Darwin Nunez but he's in the early phase of his career while Mitrovic is at the tail end of his. Also you picked one season to compare them, which was Nunez' first adapting to a new country and league, and also Mitro's only good season ever in the top flight. Even then he didn't out score Nunez by that much.
Mitrovic was a promising young player at Anderlecht, but that was a long time ago. He might be able to do a reasonable job at a top club but to lump him in with actual stars like Juninho and Harry Flippin Kane is ridiculous.
I find it hard to believe people are scoffing at 14 goals with a newly promoted side. I think that’s a great return given the context. He’s a real handful for defenders.
But he really is a thoroughly unlikeable individual. In terms of ability he won’t be easy to replace, in terms of his persona, Silva could lob a dart out the window right now and there’s a 99% chance he’ll hit a better quality of person than that helmet.

He's always been a moron, could always tell the lights were on but nobody was home. Thick as pigshit.
It’s not outlandish what he’s saying. He’s saying Al-Hilal are the Rea Madrid of Asia which they probably are. They have the most Asian Champions league titles and are a top club in Asian football.
I love you guys, give me all your dollars please.
feck me, if they’d come along and offered him 5k a week he’d have said, “who?”

Al Hilal are equivalent to Real Madrid in Asia or at least the middle east. Most successful team.
He'd say the same to Fulham if they offered him that much. Money is the main driver for where players choose to play.
He is an idiot, and went there for the money(same reason he left his country to go play in Europe before), but he is not that wrong.
He is right .. football is not only for Europe ..
Let's spread it around ..
Let the Asians take over the soccer world now

The volley he scored the other day was outrageous.
As a Cottager I am glad he left.
With that mentality he would’ve ruined our squad.
No one is bigger than the club, thanks for the bag of gold. It came to good use with extending Palhinha.

Of course he's right. It IS the Real Madrid of Asia! Where is the problem now?
As I said the other day, I think Fulham would win this league (a PR agent wouldn't say that). The automatisms and processes must work. Almost the entire starting eleven in the entire league is new. You have to get used to it first.
But that doesn't mean it will stay that way. Even City, PSG and Co. did not immediately become top clubs after a transfer window.
But they will catch up massively in a very short time.
In 2-3 years some Saudi clubs will have teams that could win the UCL by name. But then Mitrovic won't play and another striker in Hilal will say that this club is even stronger than Real Madrid.
