I reckon Leeds will be needing £8.7m in transfer fee to off load him to another club if that club were only willing to pay him £60k per week.
His original fee amortisation should be around £4m left on their books (£10m over 5 years, but the new contract in 2023 extends and lowers the amortisation)
Assuming a 3 year contract @ £60k/w was on the table (3 years for ease of calculation as that’s what he has left), they would also need £4,680,000 to weigh him out on the difference in earnings between £90k/ 3 years and £60k/ 3 years.
Obviously everyone will have an opinion on if he’s even worth £60k per week but the lower the rate the higher the fee Leeds would need to avoid a loss on him.
Equally they might be content to take a bit of a loss just get him off the books, or he might take a hit (unlikely as he has a contact), or someone might be mad enough to match his contract.
I imagine these are the sort of negotiations that go on while I’m laying in my urine soaked bedsheets wondering why we haven’t signed anyone.
