From what I read, Can wanted a transfer release clause. FSG had bad experience with the Luis Suarez transfer. LS had a transfer clause and FSG has moved to not have any players with transfer release clauses. If we allow Can to have a transfer clause, others will want too and that reduces our ability to negotiate transfers. If Coutinho's contract had a transfer clause, it is likely to be much lower than $142 million pounds.
With us, Can seemed to be on $30K per week. Quite a low salary for a regular starter. Will not fetch a high price for him with 1 year remaining on his contract. Seems only English players on last year of contract can fetch decent prices. Plus no point selling him last year and signing a replacement when we know Keita is joining us 1 year later. And we know he will not slack in his last year as Can will want to play well to attract new clubs.
Can also talk cock about signing a new contract I feel. He gets a big signing on fee plus higher weekly wages. Plus the Italian league is slower and more suitable for him. Wishing him well though. He was nice enough not to announce his new club until the end of the season. At least his contract issue did not distract us while we were heading to the CL final.
