Player Valuation: £60m
These days, if you finish 11th in consecutive seasons and haven't won a trophy in 21 years you can't really fume at one of Europe's brightest young talents, who has by now proven he's good enough to play in the CL, for looking to move on. Whether he talks about it in the press or not, everyone already knows he wants to leave for a CL club, so it doesn't really make much difference. We can't give him any European football at all this coming season, didn't last season and there's no guarantee we will in seasons to come.
If we'd improved our performance as much as he has his own over the last 3 years, we'd probably be in a better position to convince him to stay, but we've been utter toilet and achieved nothing for 2 whole years while he's just slotted 25 goals away in a season where we finished in the bottom half.
