Why should he give up his contract without a generous pay off as he signed for 3 years to June 2022? He is much younger than my 3 children but if I was his dad (impossible as my wife and I are white!) I’d be saying something like “good on you son for earning so much money by the age of 27 and being financially sound for the rest of your life. Make sure you secure excellent financial advice from your agent or elsewhere such as a first class accountant/financial advisor, even if you have to pay for it”.
Being from a minority ethnicity, Isaac has done very well. We don’t know what generation Brit he is, but surely his forebears would marvel at the success of their descendant. You cannot blame him for accepting a generous salary and lengthy contract that City offered him.
My opinion with the advantage of hindsight is that Isaac is not sufficiently physically robust to withstand the rigours of professional football.
