17 million?!?

I could see a few mid-table PL clubs in need of a bit of midfield creativity being interested - sides like Southampton or Brighton for instance. He’s still young enough to develop and prosper in a more stable environment.

But we shouldn’t accept a low valuation just because that’s how much the buying club wants to pay.

£30m bare minimum or he stays would be my position.

Is he better than Trossard, Gross, Modar, Izquierdo, McAllister, Redmond, Boufal, Armstrong? Not so sure. Just like Buendia absolute class act in the Champ but the gulf is massive and I’m not sure any impartial scout who had watched us all season would be able to justify recommending him at more than £17m.

Eze and Raphinha cost pretty much that amount  and their impact has been monumental in comparison.

I think many have mentally wiped this season and are remembering the Pereira from last season.
