I agree with you that it's probably wild media speculation that Alexis wanted 25 million, however I don't think Bayern are going to hand out raises to all of their players ahead of schedule simply to sign 1 player. That is bad business practice.Let's say it hypothetically averages out to increasing the wage bill by roughly 1 million per player, per year for 4 years of Sanchez. That would be 25 (or however many players are on the squad next year) million x 4 (years) in extra salary + 50 million to sign Sanchez + 15 million x 4 (years) or whatever Sanchez's own salary would be.You're looking at 160 million+ total cost for 4 years of Sanchez in that scenario, plus raising the wage structure prematurely.I want Bayern to sign Sanchez, but I don't want management to pay him more than Lewandowski.
