I think we could start talking at between £50 and £60 million, I wouldn't answer the phone for any less.
Sinkov Transfermarkt say his value on Jan 2 2018 was £5.4m. Itwould be amazing to get so much, though that won’t reflect his international status. A new one is due soon and it could double his value. Usually 3 times the value is what we have had for Keane and others. I think Pickford went for more.
However we don’t need to sell so I guess the question will be how much he wants to leave. The WC may mess up things if he gets in the squad and may put his value up more. Would we do a Dale Stephens on him?
