I think he'll be here next season for a number of reasons;
1) He'd be a big risk for any potential buyer after the season he's just had.
2) His wages are top tier and nobody will want to pay him that much without some evidence he's worth it. We won't be subsidising his wages either.
3) We'd have to take a proper hit on his value, especially witht he effects of Covid.
4) Ndombele needs to repair some of the damage to his reputation to get any sort of attractive move.
5)) There's been a load of conflicting ITK so half of it must be bullshit. People seem to always take the most recent bit of ITK as gospel no matter where it comes from.
I don't think Levy will bail out on this and will be telling Mourinho he's paid 15m per year to deal with this kind of shit.
I largely agree with this, aside from the last sentence. I think both Levy and Mourinho know that if they can shift him on now at a good price, they will be able to invest in areas we need. However, I don’t think we will get anyone offering what we want/need for him.
Come October, Tanguy will have the choice of knuckling down, or seeing himself frozen out and his chances of a move growing smaller and smaller. Hopefully he comes to his senses and works hard enough to at least help out or maybe even break into the team.
It’s a clusterfuck of a situation, and it doesn’t look like going away any time soon.
