Well the issue is this. He's 26 years old, so not a youngster, big money would be on offer for both club and player, it's a bird in the hand situation for both. No surprise at all that an offer may have been tabled. In fact I would have been surprised by the absence of an offer. I think the model is financially driven with promotion, if it happens, being an incidental bonus. Hope he stays, love watching him play.
