“There was a club in England offering almost double the amount and a club in Europe doubling the amount. - 400k per week, i can see why chelsea board not paying it, why would you pay someone 4x the salary (just the same with staff in a company will you pay 4x the salary to retain a staff) - i can get someone to replace him with lesser salary (boss mentality)

The conversation between them is inside the link below

as for agent, obviously he will advise his client to get the biggest paycheck provided he get the same as well. Do they really care bout their clients? I doubt so

However, Rudiger rejected the deal with his camp wanting a £10 million signing-on fee, as well as agents fees worth around the same, plus an increased wage for the Chelsea defender.

I m interested to know more so i google. Is Koulibaly really more expensive then Rudiger?

Koulibaly transfer fees with contract - 65.8m (4 years) - not sure bout signing and agent fees i cant find the details
Rudiger agent and signing fees with contract - 67.8m ( 4 years) - this is the only info i have

If you have time maybe you can explain more if not its fine.

skysports saying his salary is 160k per week (found out its net)

https://www.skysports.com/football/news/110...amford%20Bridge.

some reports show net salary, some show gross salary...so its rudiger offered salary net or gross?

but if gross then what you say its correct retain rudiger definitely cheaper than signing koulibaily
