The absolute biggest games he was left out. We have other/better options.

Foden could do pretty.much what Mahrez does out there but with better speed and workrate. I know there's talk he'll play more centrally, but maybe he won't. Or Bernardo can do what he did out there late on last season, if he stays.

And we need to make sure Alvarez is included. The guy is just supremely effective.

Then we have Palmer, who could play in a similar way to Mahrez, though perhaps we'd need a little patience.

Or maybe McAtee now that he's back. He could operate from a wide position, or perhaps more centrally allowing Foden to play on the right.

We have a load of options already. If the perfect replacement is out there then I'm all for it, but I think we could sell while replacing from within.

That’s the thing, how much would you take from one of the Saudi clubs for him? I’m personally absolutely gutted he’s been amazing for us he’s turned up within big games. His game really doesn’t depend on pace with him getting older. He the perfect pep winger for us right now.
 
The RW market is pretty dead. Seems the top top level of talent that could be available plays off the left. Kvaradona/Leao. The right is pretty dry. Saka would be my ideal replacement but not sure it'll be an easy pull (near impossible).
 
I think he's a player that still has a lot to offer but last season when he wasn't picked for some of the big games he had a face like a smacked arse I think if he stays his game time will be even less so you still have the same problem except your not getting the big saudi$$$ .It's the problem you have when you have 16 players that would start at nearly every other prem club we never seemed to lose players to injury last season as well so always had top players having to be disappointed
 
As it been highlighted it is a dead market if we were to sign a replacement. It may open the door for James McAtee if we did sell him
