Yes, doubling the salary would be a good reason to stay at City, not to mention that City will continue to dominate and with this club he will take many more titles. But the consequences of this whole story, of course, can be unpleasant for City: now many players will think that even if they look like “not the most important cog” in the club’s squad, in fact the club depends on them very much and obviously they can demand better conditions or go to another club.
