West Bromwich Albion striker Salomon Rondon is reportedly on the radar of Cardiff City in the Premier League.

According to The Mirror (Transfer Live blog, 16:09, Sunday, May 27, 2018), West Bromwich Albion striker Salomon Rondon’s wage demands could prove to a stumbling block for Cardiff City.

Earlier this month, The Daily Mail reported that Cardiff are interested in signing Rondon from West Brom in the summer transfer window.

It was reported that the 28-year-old striker’s relegation release clause is at set £16.5 million, and that the Bluebirds are planning to make an offer of £12m plus add-ons.

The Mirror (Transfer Live blog, 16:09, Sunday, May 27, 2018) has claimed that Cardiff, who will play in the Premier League next season after winning automatic promotion from the Championship, want to sign the Venezuela international striker, but his wage demands could prove to be a problem, with Spotrac.com reporting that the former Zenit Saint Petersburg star earns £60,000 per week as salary.




Good signing for Cardiff City?

Playing for a Tony Pulis team as a striker is not easy, and one can understand why Rondon has not been prolific for West Brom in the Premier League.

The 28-year-old striker, though, is very experienced and is a very good player, and he could score 10 to 15 goals in the Premier League for the Bluebirds if played to his strengths.

Wish we would just sign him job done 2 strikers for the season Everybody knows his proven credential's .Early bird catches the worm.

Really don’t think we should be paying anyone over 50k next season.

I really hope we do not go down this route again with big wages and fees.

I think we could get better than him for £12million

If we have £40 mill to spend he should bring in 6x £7million players to boost the squad

Some very very good players around for that type of money.

If he has £30 mill we should sign 6x £5million players.

We need to think of the future and sign young hungry players who want to be here not players who follow the money.
If we sign Rondon for that money, he has a bad/average season and get relegated we will never recoup our money and will probably let him go for £4million or be lumbered with huge wages again like Cornelius.
If we can get him around £6/8million
Hes worth a shot

If we keep throwing obstacles in the way we will end up with loan players only its the premier league no point in going up if we are not going to compete off the pitch as well as on and the ammount of money for staying in the prem £280 million is staggering we cannot survive on a shoestring

Gary madine cost us 5 million if that's what we get for 5 mill. where f....d before we start

Agree but at the same time if we throw everything at it and it doesnt work the club may never recover. Its taken 4 years this time and thats only because of Vincent Tans money whether people like it or not.

We have to be sensible and build a team that if the worse happens and we do go down we can keep them all and bounce straight back up without having huge pressure because of wages

Trouble is we don't have to be the biggest spenders in the Prem but we will have to pay the going rate whatever that is otherwise no-one will come.My guess is that going rate is alot higher than when we were last here and I've no doubt some of the players already here will want a piece of that going rate too.I think a lot hinges on the gaffers meeting with Mr Tan in Malaysia.

Good strikers are hard to come by especially ones that can compete in the prem so that is why i said grab someone when you have a chance before someone else does otherwise you move on to the next striker and start all over again saying this and that i am not saying overspend but we can make savings on other postions in the team not every player has to be 15 milion but as has just been said on here you have to pay the going rate otherwise your in the hope bracket and leftovers

Everton dropped a bollock when they did' nt replace lukaku and had to struggle without a striker and they ended up the wrong end of the table , its then when you go silly and panic buy in the next transfer window we have zahore as main but if he had some bad injury or broke his leg where up the creek without.

Anyone asking for over £35k and no relegation clause can forget about it!

We don’t want to be a club with certain players top-heavy on wages compared to others in the squad.

Everyone should be at our club proving their worth and playing on bonus heavy incentives!

HITC most unreliable source.

if carlsburg did footballers eh..

Snodgrass. Unwanted by West Ham and now not going up with Villa. A favourite of Warnock from his time at Leeds. Lewis Grabban. Not going up with Villa but Premier League standard. Sam Johnstone no longer needed by Villa. That’s 3 decent players for a small fee and should be on around £30k a week.

Wouldnt want Grabban, he had his chance and made his choice

Cardiff will definitely not buy Grabban.

Last time I looked Everton weren't relegated

TBH mate there is no way I want this club following the Peter Ridsdale blueprint for Premier League football by chasing the dragon. We could sign Salomon Rondon and still go down with a £60kpw player on the books.

We could also sign salomon rondon and stay up its only an opinion we all want whats best if we had stayed in the championship we would not have to be thinking about these things but we all have different thought some people want top quality without spending to much some people think players are to exspensive or are not good enough its just as well that a lot of us are not on boards or have to make these decisions we would never sign anybody but really all we are looking for is to sign a few players to supplement the squad i think its just the fact we all want to get it right this time and cement our place in the premier and we all know its not easy in your first season and nobody wants to be the whipping boy or to go straight back down now that we have got here but as long as we are all singing from the same hymn sheet and in the stands and giving as much support as we can to the club what else can we do.

AMEN

Really don’t think we should be paying anyone over 50k next season.

Agree .

Didn’t know he was on those type of wages. Looks like we might struggle to attract current Premiership players, with our wage limits.

We are being linked with PAOK striker, Aleksandar Prijović.

The 28 year old old Serbian international has scored 26 goals in 43 appearances this season.

Looking at his stats for his last clubs each season he has scored 12-17 goals with lowest being only 8 in the league this year. Hes proved hes good and 12 million for a 28 year old who could probably get 8 or more if we signed him is perfect! Wages are high well if were going to compete to in the prmier aright and do it we will have to spend money and its just the start?
