I appreciate that Zinchenko is a bit of a cult hero at the club. More so with the way he's handled what's happened in Ukraine. But that's the reason why the club should and probably will be very accommodating if he wants to move on. Setting unrealistically high valuations for players isn't really something which we need to do. You get the feeling that the point of the CFG is to have a high volume turnover of players rather than trying to rinse every pound out of every potential sale.
This type of attitude will help the club to sign more talented young players as they can see that they will have a developmental path, and also that if they don't make it at City, they will be given the opportunity to move on without too much drama. I think Bazunu is a great example of that.
The key thing is that the players' themselves want to leave, and for City they are at best squad/fringe players. In that instance there's almost no point in standing in their way if a decent fee comes in.
