Selling Hojeberg or however you spell his name for 25m is a good sale. So if Soton can get 25m for him and supposedly Liverpool are set to get 6m for Karius how can we not get 5m for Sokratis or Mustafi. Or 10-12m for Holding.
People said no one would touch our players because middle of the road teams who may be interested in some of our players have no money. But it's clear that theres money there.
Hojbjerg is 24 years old and on 50k a week at the Saints. He's also a relatively talented player. 25m is fairly expensive but in the grand scheme of things not all that bad.
Clubs look at the long term value as much as the now value.
If you are giving Hojbjerg a 4 year deal you amortise the transfer. 60k a week = 2.7m a year. 25m divided by 4 we will round to 6.3 to make it easier. So Hojbjerg is costing everton 9m a year for 4 years.
Mustafi is on 90k a week. He won't take a pay cut to move and he's in the last year of his deal, he's also quite poor.
Club comes in with an offer of 10m and 100k a week. Over a 4 year deal Mustafi ends up costing a buying club 25-30M.
Not worth it to anyone. All these players contract are far too high. Players that are sold for big fees usually have low wages, like Solanke etc.
We would be able to get money for Holding and Chambers from a lot of clubs.
