its not really weird, if you know hes still under his 1st contract at Liverpool, when he joined them as a Bayern reserve. hes earning pocket change right now, ofcourse he will look for a huge raise with being a free agent. not saying it was correct or wrong to sign him, just explaining the situation

I get that you'll end up paying higher wages to freebies, but his quality doesn't justify €5m a year. Expecting more important players to ask for a pay rise now.
only Higuain, Dybala and DC are earning more than he will at current Juve, it will certainly force us to raise wages for the likes of Pjanic, Mandzukic, Cuadrado, AS...
