I personally see no good reason to sign him. We don't need another cf who will cost a fortune. Especially when they are not guaranteed quality and are mere potential
I think what makes him appeal to me is that I followed him last season where he seemed to have everything and he's then gone on to step up another level when faced with a bigger challenge at Sporting. No adaptation necessary, no teething problems at all. That seems like the right kind of character to go along with a great set of attributes. And outside of somebody who's already scoring consistently in the PL, or an Osimhen or someone, I think that makes him as close to a sure thing as you're likely to find in this market.
If it's no ball below the release clause then sure, move on. But I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Sporting sell for a decent bit less and somebody to benefit from it big time. We spent big on Hojlund and maybe can't be splashing huge sums on the same position again, but the fact remains that this squad desperately needs another striker.
