I think it is pretty clear he wants to leave, it is whether he causes loads of issues behind the scenes that remains to be seen, or whether he can be convinced to stay another year
Personally, if I really really really wanted to go, I would have put in a transfer request by now.
Maybe he's actually giving the new Manager a chance to convince him to stay, unlike a previous captain who will remain nameless but rhymes with Adam the llama.

Of course he wants to leave, he probably wants to sack his agent too.
He's been tied down to what 30k a week? when he knows he could be earning 150-200k a week. Anyone would want to leave in that situation.
Loyalty is done. He wants that cash.
80k then.
He could earn way over twice that somewhere else. Let's not be naive, he'll want that dollar.
It's a shame but loyalty is a thing of the past.
Don't know when it happened, but Virgil has removed his picture in Saints kit from his twitter feed (it was there when I left for my hols a week ago). So childish.
Doesn't need to put in a transfer request, that is absolute last straw as it means you miss out on loads of bonuses you are entitled to iirc. Can just kick off behind the scenes for the same result, it appears he hasn't done that yet so maybe he is waiting to see if someone he really wants to join will come in for him.
Yes he could.
But he might have been told to stay another year, as Schneiderlin was (and did) and accepted that.
and lose about 4 million pound in the process? Yeah okaay.
You'll need to bump his money up imo.
My guess (complete guess as I have no insider knowledge) is that this happened last summer and there is something in the contract he signed that gives him an out clause if a certain level of team bids high enough. I think this is also why he isn't kicking up a huge fuss atm as he knows this will be met at some point.
