At the given moment, clubs will simply give up on the negotiations process in case the invisioned wages are simply out of hand. Rejecting Juve and Chelsea at 110 and 150k respectively seems like a gamble, but now that Roma are at 100k it feels like he reached a dead end. The complicated thing about this game is that it is a short-lived career and idling too long to get the “best” deal would be counterproductive. Unless he alters his expectations, he may find himself being trapped at Manchester United or go out on a free transfer which is not the best solution to him. Reflectively, it would have been better to have taken up the deal with the Chelsea. Overconfidence or pride in certain situations can get in the way of the players and we are witnessing this here.
