Allright. If you really believe this then there's nothing I can say ^^ Getting a 5.9/year creative midfielder when you have Eriksen fully fit, doesn't really make sense imo but oh well.
How am I biased when you're the one interpreting intent based on a written quote?
Besides your two first paragraphs is just you twisting Ibra's words.
I will agree these are not 100% facts as we don't have access to the actual reasonings behind our managements moves or Calha's agents offers. However I find it highly unlikely we would get Calhanoglu on a free at 5.9M/year wages when we have Eriksen in the same position at 8M/year - in the case Eriksen was healthy.
To get back to the point: if not factual, what he's saying is accurate. However the reason why he is saying this is clearly a sort of gentle rivalry poke on Calhanoglu which is bread and butter for footballers whether they state it as loudly as Zlatan or not. If you read more parts from his book he talks pretty nicely about the Turk, so I don't think there's real animosity there anyways.
