He’s a top top player for this division, his MV is 3.5m and he plays for a fellow Championship club and contract until 2028. Only way we’re getting him is a little more than MV, he’s 29 now so still has a good 4/5 years in him depending how his body holds up
He is a very good player in this league but will turn 30 in Feb, he's contract to summer 2026 not 2028, so has 18 months left on his contract. The club isn't going to pay that much for that age of player, it's not the model.
