Manchester City are facing a contract rebellion from three first-team players following the £38million capture of striker Sergio Aguero.
Nigel de Jong, Vincent Kompany and Micah Richards are unhappy with the new deals offered to them, especially after learning that City are paying club record signing Aguero £200,000 per week in a five-year deal confirmed.
De Jong, a star performer in manager Roberto Mancini’s midfield last season alongside Yaya Toure, who earns £200,000 a week, was believed to have been offered £80,000 a week.
Kompany and Richards also feel undervalued by their big-spending club.
Richards has been offered a five-year deal worth £65,000 a week while Kompany has been told to expect a four-year deal worth £80,000 a week. However, the pair are mulling over the offers.
A City source said: ‘While efforts to bring the club’s wage bill into line are commendable, it doesn’t wash with the key members of the squad being offered less than half of what some of the top earners like Yaya Toure, Carlos Tevez and Sergio Aguero will earn.

This is what happens when you blow the economy of scale out of the goddamn water.
And, holy hell, would you look at that, Aguero took less money to go to City, the only person ever! Granted he was making an insane amount of cash before, but there you go.
Look at it like this, Brad Richards signed a 9 year $60 Million dollar contract.
Sergio Aguero jus signed a 5 year, £52 Million POUND contract. Thats just his wages over the next 5 years. At the current exchange rate thats about $85 million USD in just over half the length.
Thats. Insane.
