From what I gather he didn't perform at that level last season overall. Whether he can get back onto that trajectory to become a £100m+ level talent is still unknown, but the risks seem skewed to the downside. His valuation will forever be restricted by his past, even if he does really improve from here. The club's clearly struggling to get £30m+ for him, so no way he goes for anywhere near £50m.

It is a little bit strange to have this now when so many posts have been about personal opinions on the subject.

Personal opinions have all now been heard, we are just repeating conversations.
He should never play for the club again. If your idea was put into place, it would cause a massive distraction again and probably take everyone's attention away from more important things.
What's hilarious is that people genuinely thought Barca/Real Madrid/Bayern Munich would be going all out to sign him this summer. They're not going anywhere near him.
Then there's the likes of Juve, Lazio and Atletico Madrid. Even they're working out whether he's worth the fuss and in the case of Lazio and Atletico Madrid, probably thinking they can get better value for money elsewhere.
Maybe these clubs aren't playing poker with us. Maybe he's just not as good (yet) as people think he is.
And almost 100 of them have been yours. If you haven't convinced us to keep the scrote by now, you're not going to.
And that applies to everyone. Both sides of this have been rolled out over and over. Everyone has had their say. There is nothing new to add to the allegations discussion. So let's just keep it to updates.
I think the big problem is his wages. The big clubs don't want him and the smaller ones don't want to mess with their current wage structure. It's very likely that Greenwood only gets offers outside of England and for clubs such as Fiorentina paying north of 100k/week isn't feasible.
The more time passes the more difficult it will get to sell him, imo. In the end i can see him going for 15 mil or less.

Let's hope that someone from the KSA is interested then
100??? ....What are you on?
I doubt if I have reached double figures on this topic.
You know you can check how many posts people have made in a thread right? You're on 91 fyi.
Geez..
Thanks for that
took me a while to figure that out too tbh!I think he still performed to the level of a £50m potential player last season, so add into the baggage that comes with him £30-40m is a reasonable fee to expect from United. That being said, they maybe underestimating the discount needed to shift him, so probably think about trying to recoup that money on the next transfer - especially if he goes to Marseille. No chance he ends his career there and likely De Zerbi moves on too and potentially takes him with him.
Hope we’re sensible enough to add a substantial sell on clause ! Can see him going to a Europa league team for 20 m doing well for a couple of years and then they flip him for 80 m to one of the big teams .

We want 30M EUR by all accounts not pounds, so a club just needs to be capable of spending ~25M GBP + 25k p/w wages. Honestly not a lot.
Sorry, I know it's not a factual update, but I AM anxious about whether he comes back.
I'm a rape victim and I will have to divorce the club I've loved for over 30 years. I'd have to stop watching football.
And I'll probably have to leave the Cafe, which has offered me amazing support over the last few years.
People spreading assumed predictions stress me out.
That is a lot to the teams that might be in the market for him though.
(factual update - check the facts on what they have spent in recent seasons)
Yeah, I agree with you 100%, I was referring more to the posters saying we should get 50m+ for him. Clearly, there is only one team that can do that, and it's PSG.
