LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Manchester City is considering a Landon Donovan trade, says reports. Manchester City’s Landon Donovan trade could cost $12 million in transfer fees. Reports Monday say that the transfer fee would be paid by Man City promptly, if it decides on Donovan.
Multiple reports say Man City heads sent a rep to watch all of Donovan’s World Cup games. Based upon Landon’s performance, the rep reportedly has recommended the trade. Currently with the Los Angeles Galaxy, Donovan is being paid $2,127,777.78. annually.Manchester City is expected to double that salary at least.
Donovan was upset after the Galaxy signed David Beckham at an enormous salary only to have the former Real Madrid star benched with injuries. In 2007, CNN reported Beckham’s salary at $1 million per week initially.
The question is how much Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, owner of Man City, would pay Donovan. This comes as questions if Donovan is set to reconcile with his U.S. tv actress wife and is facing new allegations of a possible paternity suit from a British-reported unidentified woman.
