You'd think so.
Either Saka is on something like £50-60k a week, or ESR might be on that. I don't think there'd be a difference of nearly £50k in their wages.
That said, Villa's bid for ESR definitely played a part in ESR's huge pay-rise. In contrast, no club bid for Saka when Arsenal were negotiating with him.
Either ESR's agent has played a masterstroke, or both the reported wages aren't true.
Personally, I have no issue even if Saka and ESR are on £100k a week. Rather them than our over-paid players. If we sign Maddison and pay him £200k a week, this club might as well shut down.
