Player Valuation: £70m
So Deulofeu looks as though he might be playing his way back to Barca, who are also very interested in John Stones.
I know we're not a selling club, and none of us want to lose either player - but realistically if you get good money for a commodity who might have their career ended in a bad tackle next week - it would be good business to accept the cash (at the right price) for any player.
What I'm wondering, if Barca started taking serious interest later in the year .... which of these two is more valuable to us to keep? For instance, if they dangled a juicy amount of cash for Stonsey, and part of the deal would be - 'we won't take up our option to buy Deulofeu back' ... would you be happy with that?
