Aguero officially leaving City. Gotta think Haaland ends up there, pretty much a natural replacement.

Sadly, I don't think that's going to happen, as I think Aguero would be one of the best players to help Messi settle in Manchester.

I'm afraid, it's to make room for Haaland.

Yeah I kinda figure Aguero leaving is a pretty big tell Messi is staying at Barca and Aguero will join him.

nah, Haaland is a Raiola client. I'll eat my hat if Raiola ever moves another client to Guardiola.

As long as the agent fee comes through I doubt he gives a good #### where his clients end up.

Raiola and Guardiola absolutely despise each other. The agent fee will come anyway ... it's not like City are the only team that would be interested in Haalands services, plus City seem to have this weird principle of not spending too much on a single player.

And because Raiola is such a confrontational 5hitbag, he's eliminating a third of his clients potential suitors.

His release clause this summer is way higher, I think 180m, but with the drop next summer there is some leverage if city come somewhere in the middle.

Ornstein did a podcast or YouTube video with Sam Lee talking about what city would do this summer. They said city do like Lukaku and also like taking advantage of clubs who need money, that's how they got Torres so cheap. Also said that they have inquired about Joao Felix in the past but were told the price was the release clause, which was 300m I believe.

I don't think Haaland is nailed on, at least yet. City the last few years have been good with setting their price and walking away if they don't think it's worth it, which is why Kane rumors to there never made any sense. I could see them getting an elite but stop gap striker for now, and revisiting Haaland in 2022 or Mbappe, I think his contract runs out in 2023.

Haha, how does that happen? 5-2 final against a team that’s going to be relegated.

They had a man sent off before the half hour mark, totally changed the match. Chelsea were up 1-0 and in cruise control until Thiago Silva decided attempted murder on a football pitch was a good idea.
