If he were on £120k per week plus bonuses, then that would mean that he has been on little more than £120k per week since he joined, given his appearances, performances and achievements, and no likelihood of that increasing in the last three years of his deal. If that were the case, I'd have thought we'd have had far less trouble getting rid of him over the last few years. So my suspicion is that he's on £200k per week, which was the story since he joined. The £120k plus bonuses idea has only surfaced over the last couple of months as far as I can see, and I suspect it's wishful thinking.He has £200k per week with us for another 3 years (or £120k per week plus bonuses). He is also probably for a loyalty bonus if he hasn’t asked to move. Why would he take a pay cut? If he goes on loan we will pay the majority of his wages, and if there is an option to buy the price will be low so they can cover his wages with a signing on fee.
