£75 million is absolutely insane for a player in the last year of his contract, but given that the OX is in a similar situation and is valued at £35 million it seems fairly reasonable. I'd throw the money at them now to get it done but we'd definitely have to win the league this season to justify it. we'd also set a precedent going forward if there wasn't one already with regards to players in the last year of their contracts no longer on the cheap.
I think we're in for a change in this country soon, with the amount of players wanting out this summer and the clubs refusing to sell. I can see us adopting a mandatory minimum release fee with every contract like the Spanish do.
