I think he'll be off to somewhere in Europe next season. Maybe Lazio. Maybe Dortmund. Maybe Marseilles. Then if we make the knock-outs other places too.
Despite everything, he's still one of our best players. There are plenty others I would get rid of before him
In no particular order: Hendrick Hayden Fraser Clark Ritchie Lewis Darlow Manquillo Dummett Lascelles And maybe a few others. BUT... at least we might get some cash for Maxi.
Can see the vast majority of those listed being allowed to leave for nothing with us even picking up a % of their wages elsewhere. Ritchie from what I understand is being asked to remain in some capacity for his experience off the field - possibly in some sort of junior coaching capacity and talk of Dummett being offered a new deal.
Although I would rather keep him because we don’t have a big enough squad as it is I think he is gone.
