The bidders must be getting closer now, but Knapper is right to hold out for our valuation. Sainz seems to be more upset by the suggestion that he would be signed as a backup rather than a starting player.
It's that kind of attitude that makes me think Sainz might favour moving on as a free agent. In that situation he can call the shots.
It is, but it seems to me to fit with the path his career has followed up to now. But as you say, what do we know.
There's also the £1m+ he would get as his share of a transfer and a big boost in salary now that could bring in millions more over the next year.
