Unless it's £100m I can't see it - not many English based clubs will have that lying around so I can't see it myself. Just signed a new contract this year, loves it here, best mate just signed in for the future as well his kids love it, his wife loves it, fans love him etc etc etc. Of course if an insane offer comes his way he'll be off (Madrid, Barcelona etc types) but most of the top top top clubs abroad are either already set Madrid have Mbappe on the way and a very talented squad behind him - Camavinga, Bellingham, Modric, Kroos etc, or like Barce are broke and couldn't afford him, Bayern - wouldn't pay what was required - they prefer to pick up potential, PSG - maybe but can't see it. Leaves the English clubs - Chelsea are going to struggle with no Europe for another season, Arsenal have spend net £400m in the last few years so again can't see them splashing out big on a CM when they are desperate for a striker, Man U we'll charge them £200m, no chance. Man City - possibly again, would need a monumental offer though.
Anyway this house purchase is pretty conclusive surely ? I mean he could just sell it if needed, but makes no sense this close to the summer. When does the window close ?
I hope not, we need to keep players like him, Isak, Gordon, Botman etc to build a team around. Every player has his price though and he has a release clause in his contract for £100m which would be a fantastic ROI. For me that is just the reserve price and I would fully expect a host of suitors to be alerted should the clause be activated by someone....assuming we're prepared to let him go at the right price I would certainly expect that to be upwards of £100m. To be clear I think £100m is probably about right, he's proven himself more than able and capable in this league at this level and his potential with better players around him is for me what would drive the price upwards of £100m.
He has improved recently, but anyone looking to buy him would have to pay over his worth. 100m at minimum which he's not worth, same with Isak. If Isak was fit throughout the season he'd probably be worth 80-100m, but he's not.
