Ronald has already said this at a press conference recently.
I imagine the Board will concur with his wishes.
I honestly don't want him to stay if he doesn't want to be here. Would rather get £80 million for him this window and hopefully reinvest it well than keep him a year and have an uninterested Rom not doing the business then leaving for £30-40 million the season after. We haven't the finances to just let £40-50 million go willy nilly especially with the new stadium.
For me we have to keep Barkley, losing both in 1 summer would be a disaster.

Personally don't see the point in keeping him if he doesn't want to be here.
If there's no way we can convince him to sign a new contract we should sell him for as much as we can get and reinvest the money wisely.
Not only is it a bad idea financially to force him to stay, as his value will go down, but you run the risk it'll hurt team morale.
Far better to buy some new players who want to play for us than to try forcing players to stay who won't be focussed or driven.

Depending on the personality of the player, there can be every point in keeping him as shown by Liverpool keeping Suarez.
Lukaku has said before that he will never cause trouble or leave on bad terms, it will be when its right for all parties. He also has the Euro's coming up at the end of next season, plus we all know he has wanted to move to a CL team since he signed and he's still managed to be professional and do his job.
If he gets us CL football next season, then any drop in transfer value would be more than made up by the increase in money. Its a risk, but our best chance of reaching CL is with him.
We are not getting CL next season with EL games to play on top imo. Also Suarez signed a new deal so Liverpool were guaranteed big money once he left Rom won't and we'll be losing £40/50 million from his sale for a likely 5/6/7th placed finish next season. Not worth it.

I can see why some want to do that and you're probably right about him being professional in his attitude to playing. I'm just not sure it's worth risking the financial loss if we don't make champions league next season.
Will be interesting to see how this plays out between Rom and the club.
He's top, top quality, and I would love him to stay big style,but I've never felt any love or affection (and I get the impression he feels the same about us as a club, if he did he wouldn't keep spouting crap) for him because he's a massive tit, but as long as he keeps banging them in for us then he gets my backing, if he goes I couldn't care less what happens to him.
With prices rising each year and us supposedly paying £20mill for a CB with 1 year left on his contract this summer, I think the fee for a 24 year old proven PL striker with world class potential will still command over £40mill even with 12 months on his contract. We may not make a massive profit but we wont lose money.
But we are not a Man City or Chelsea who can afford to turn our nose up at £40/50 million. We also have about 6-7 good signings needed this summer who will all cost a fair whack and a new Stadium that's currently being in the process of being funded.
It would be absolutely daft to keep Rom an extra year on the slim hope of a top 4 finish. Even more so if we lose Ross on the cheap this season if he does go. £30 million for Ross and £40 Million for Rom would total £70 million, we could probably get £50 million for Ross if he had more than 1 year on his deal and about £80 million for Rom. That's £60 million lost that's alot of money mate for a club like ours. This is business not FIFA 17
But so could selling Ross and Rom for £100mill this summer and buying a Lacazzette and another fancy name from abroad for the same value but them failing to settle, or struggling to adapt to the English game. Liverpool sold Suarez and got Balotelli, Markovic and Moreno. Spurs sold Bale and got Soldado, Capoue, Lamela and Paulinho.
Its a gamble either way but i'd rather have the tried and tested (plus added quality) and have a go with that.
He doesn't want to be here mate he has refused a new deal, as much as you love the lad everyone needs to accept this is his Bale and Suarez season, getting the golden boot them moving on to bigger things. I'm 90% certain Lukaku to Chelsea is all but done and I couldn't care less anymore tbh. I'm excited with the rebuild on our hands and trust Koeman to bring in some good players. Walsh needs to earn his crust this season.
Mate, being serious now but your posts are like from someone who thinks he is boss on FIFA17 / Football manager.
I dont love him, im one of his critics and I have said earlier in the thread that if he goes its not the death of football, we just need to find the next Lukaku and other clubs manage to do it. However I would prefer to add to him and not replace unless its absolutely necessary. Im sure if Koeman says that he wants him for 1 more season then Moshiri will back him.
I agree we have to keep Barkley.
I have a feeling judging by Koemans statements on contracts and honouring them that Rom won't be sold.
He will be told you are staying for one more season.
Either sign a new contract with a release clause of our making ( and a clause about CL football ) or stay for one more season on 70 k while ROSS Rooney and one or two others get 100 k a week , your choice.
With a World Cup coming up Rom will give 100% , and who knows his goals may get us CL and if not a good WC will only increase his value even with one year left on his contract.
Moshiri didn't become a billionaire by shirking the tough decisions and letting his employees dictate to him.
