Not to mention that people also want another defender, a possible Partey replacement, back-up for Saka, presumably some younger talents if the market opportunities open & big new deals for WS, BS, EN etc. We need to balance our books & GM has great book value, probably pure profit.
I think we have Nwaneri as a Saka backup and Zubi is the Partey replacement. I'd say we need a starting quality 9 and LW (expensive), depth at 6 (moderate) and 3rd choice defense. Surely Berta and the board can do this.
They can do it, but we don’t know how much money is available to do it all. I think we’d be doing well if we got £25m combined for Zinchenko & Nelson. I can see value in Kiwior (20-25m), Vieira (10m?), but I don’t see much else. GM is the obvious earner in my eyes & probably at peak value.

Zubamendi was restructured, but still an additional £5m on top of the £60m.
How much is the striker going to cost? Gyo is reported at £70m? Sesko at £70m-100m.
Rodrygo is reported at £70m...
These are big numbers, I don't think we can lose sight of that.
Re: his own thoughts - he also needs to be in the World Cup selection window.
Would hate to see him go but I can see the reasons to do it.
