i have no idea what we are officially asking for in terms of a transfer fee, but assuming he is on £80,000 per week that’s £4mil we will save in wages by just cutting our losses and saying goodbye (I think he is now on the last year of a 3 year contract). Not to mention the benefit of not having him around the rest of the players, in the media, etc. Will anyone be willing to pay his wage demands? We will see. I doubt anyone will pay the wages AND a fee – it’s so obvious that we don’t want him at the club and that he won’t fit into klopps style.
Then again, he has promised to sort it out, start looking to improve and to become a ballon d’or winner. Yeah…right!
To think that when we bought him, AC Milan originally wanted about £30mil!
