Probably because it will earn him 50m not to sign an extension, it’s crazy money nowadays.
I agree that the real issue is us potentially losing our three world class players for free when selling them would have potentially netted 300m and you can buy a lot of player for that. It’s a tough call on the club because they probably always thought they would sign, the club needs to be tougher though and willing to sell if the player doesn’t play ball on negotiations. I think there needs to be a change in philosophy and that is if they reach 24 months left they sign or get sold. We will lose good players that way but at least we will get the money needed to replace them. It must be an accounting thing because we let a lot of players run down their contracts.
