I'm sure the link is dubious anyway, but I wouldn't get the point in selling Demarai to be honest. Sure it's profit, but what are you going to do with that profit? You'd just have to replace his production with a player that would end up costing at least what you could sell him for. Inconsistent player who should be an impact sub, but a good player to have in your team. Also happens to be the best dead ball specialist at the club (which is an area that obviously needs improving).

The goal should be to have him and Gordon as rotational options rather than foundational pieces. I also doubt there's really anybody all that interested unless we're selling for change.
 
Some hack covering the Geordies for the Daily Mail says they're interested.

30m would probably get him.
Sweet sweet profit baby, sell him for even half of that. Seriously, we need to sell, pretty much everybody has a price. Even for those who rate him, if somebody comes knocking we should take it.
 
Seems to be when he had all that publicity over his private life, he used to post his family pics a lot on Instagram but don't anymore, his recent posts have been advertising lip fillers.
 

Don’t think we should sell but in terms of profit and loss if we sell for £20 million say, given his low acquisition cost, it is pure profit. If we buy another player for exactly the same price with a 4 year contract we have made a paper profit of £15 million this year.
 

Definitely worth keeping in squad for fee we paid, but his form did drop off a cliff around December
Don't forget Richarlison went about 10 games without scoring, 90 minute full appearances too. All our players had a bad run apart from Pickford.
Gray was one of our best players this season just gone, posdibly only bettered by Richy and Pickford perhaps, that could however be a reflection on the rest of the squad.
Either way we have to keep him, we have players who offer nothing at all, such as Doucoure and Allan, they have to be shifted first.
