Player who has a year left in his contract and doesn’t want to stay with the club... But still has a ton of value in the transfer window. There’s only one move: Sell. By January those clubs bidding for him now would just wait for a few months to get him for free.
Every time that some big star (or not) who has one year contract, doesn't want to renew and wants to join another club, I wonder the same thing. What can you possibly get as the present club from him, if he wants to go? Simple nothing. There is no logic for PSG not to sell Mbappe and I'm a bit surprised that they didn't seal the deal already.
For sure when you sign a 5-year contract the club owner/ management expects to have you for 5 years and basically, invest in you. That's something quite understandable. What it isn't, at least from my point of view, is what you will gain/ get from someone that doesn't want to "work" for you anymore? Are you gamble that he will turn his mind? Maybe even convince him that this will be the year by winning the CL?
