Others have been low-balling and we've just stood firm on our valuations. Even the Saudi bids for Partey were laughable. There is multiple interest reportedly for Tavares, Lokonga and Balogun, and standing firm seems like the right thing to do.
Depending on what you choose to believe, other clubs are in similar circumstances for some players too: Dean Henderson, Eric Bailly, Scott Mctominay, Lewis Hall, Lukaku, CHO, Conor Gallagher, Davidson Sanchez, Sergio Reguilón, Tanguy Ndombele, Lo Celso etc.
There are some big albatross in there.
