Of course he'll have offers next year when he's on a free, I'm not disputing that, he won't go and live under a bridge. But where was the interest in 2020, or 2019? Or hell 2018. No one was willing to pay what we thought he was worth and that says a lot. To me thats always baffled me. There was hint of a Real bid in 2019, but thats it really. Yeah Corona probably ruined any chance of us selling him in 2020, but there wasn't even a bit of noise about interest really.
I don't think a new contract being signed can be totally ruled out even though you want to make it sound like there's no chance in hell. We put the money down and look good on the pitch, there's certainly a chance he'll stay. I'm not saying if thats good, bad, for the best or not, just saying I don't think its out of the question.
