Plus, you're assuming he'd actually want to come back.
I agree with the opening post though, the club should offer Viktor a deal as good as they've ever offered anyone. I'm 99.9% certain he'll turn it down but if you don't ask you don't get. If he says no then so be it, we sell him like we all expect anyway, but it seems daft to not even try to keep your best player at the club. Maybe we already have for all we know.
