Player Valuation: £40m
I think he will be here next season. I don’t see anyone paying the money we won’t next summer. He will still have 3.5 years left on his contract. So we can wait till we get the money we won’t.He’ll be off at the end of the season anyway if we don’t get CL. Everyone knows the deal. He’s never loved the club, he just handled his PR slightly better than Lukaku did. Why should these players love the club anyway? They come from all over the world to wherever is offering the best deal. The odd few like Cahill and Howard might give you everything and love the club forever but a large number are just biding time in their careers, they don’t love any club as most love themselves and their bank balances more than anything.
I’ve no problem with it, if he does ok this season we’ll be selling for close to 100 mill based on his age, being a Brazilian international and his utility across the front three. We then need to find the next one.
Barca & Madrid who maybe interested, probably have him down the list of their first choices. Would he go to Paris? Maybe if Neymar is still there.
Prem teams who could be after him, Utd if they sell Martial. Can’t see any others.
