Ideally I’d like our best centre back to stay but I understand why it makes sense to let him go now, we are stacked at centre back with Luiz, Gabriel, Holding, Mari, Chambers Saliba, Mavropanos
For the sake of squad balance, wages and the development of Saliba/Mavropanos at least 2-3 centre backs need to depart this summer realistically that looks like Luiz leaving on a free, one of Holding/Chambers sold, Mavropanos going on loan preferably in the BPL
Then next season we’d have Saliba, Mari, Gabriel and one of Holding/Chambers to chose from, Mavropanos can always be recalled if we have injury issues
Anyways it’s just what I’d do no point in having so many centre backs just wasting away
As for Luiz he can he saw he conquered, easily top 5 centre back of the Emirates era, his leadership and influence will be missed, this where Mari will have to takeover as the senior centre back
