Player Valuation: £60m
Of course it does but as much as we all love him my/our only interest is getting the best deal for Everton FC not keeping the player happy.A player wanting to leave definitely affects his value. Especially if he publicly states he wants to go. This is the option / threat that players and agents keep as a back up. At that point, the club find it very difficult to keep him because the fans turn on him and performances usually drop. The buying club know this and it makes sense for all parties to reach a deal.
