I mean, relatively speaking it is.
If he picked an extra £70k a week over playing for City, he clearly didn't actually have his heart set on being there.
I never said he had his heart set on being there.
At the end of the day, if you make a list;
City:
Guaranteed Short term success
Better prospects for long term success
Team is set up to suit attacking players more
More gifted players
United:
More money
Better history and more prestige
Bigger club
Guaranteed playing time
I don't know Sanchez. So I don't know which of those factors above is most important to him. But in my opinion, it was the extra 70K (which isn't relatively low. if we assume city offered 280K then an extra 70 is a 25% increase!).
If your Alexis and you don't mind going City or Utd, and one offers an extra 70K, it's a no brainer where you go! If City had offered to match it and he still chose us over them then we can factually say he chose us over city because we're Manchester United! With what we know at this moment in time, it seems more likely that he chose us because he wants to play for UTD AND we were willing to match his wage demands
