They will sort it out.”

This article contains exclusive comment from Stefan Borson, a former financial adviser to Man City.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Borson said: “It’s obvious that each of the situations that they’ve had where they’ve signed players let’s say since January, I think there’s seven or eight, and then on top of that the Haaland situation, they must have had conversations with the agents or with the players on every occasion.

So, they will have had the conversations and City will have comforted the agent or the player that was in line to sign. 

“I don’t think that it’s fixed by them offering them a release clause or something like that.

I think if there were a succession of quite unusual clauses in these contracts, I think it would have leaked out. 

“I think it would have been the sort of thing that would have hit the press because not only in terms of the players that actually signed, but you would think that they would have had those conversations with other people who they were also talking to.

“So, I think we should assume that City have been playing a sort of confident approach in all of these negotiations.

That’s with all of the players they’ve signed and the commercial deals they’ve signed.
