Easier said than done. He is on a rumoured £90k per week.
Which club in their right mind is going to pay those wages to a player who has made as many high-profile mistakes as him?
Unless we can find a club to loan him out to, no-one should be surprised if he is still at the club next season.
If the wages are too high simply ask for no fee or a nominal fee. Then the buying club will be more agreeable to paying the wages
How long left on his contract? Get rid of him and you save £4.5M a year
Don't get me wrong, I want him to leave no matter what, but it's easier said than done when he's on that sort of money and we paid £35m for him. There's no way the club would be willing to accept anything more than a £15m loss on him at absolute best. His agent will also want a slice of the pie too, so that has to be taken into consideration.
Also, if the player is comfortable with where he is - in London, family settled, on big money etc - then trying to force him out becomes twice as hard.
Getting rid of him isn't going to be easy.
