Mertens wants 3 million euro.
This is reported by the journalist Pasquale Tina who spoke to Radio Marte about his contractual renewal, which is being discussed. These are his words: “In this moment of his career, Dries Mertens would like to monetize a major contract. He had already reached an agreement on the basis of a salary of two and a quarter million euros, but now the expectation of the Belgian player is to find a deal that allows him to reach at least 3 million a year.”
Therefore, according to Tina , the agreement had already been found, at least before the Mertens new request.
