He won’t walk, he’s been dealt with worse. unsure what strain it could have with the hierarchy unless of course he agrees with the wage budget and structure
Gus wants to stay. that is clear for all to see but internally, club are preparing for worse case which from my pov that the club are not prepared break the wage structure.
He can easily get 20k elsewhere. No question about that so the fact he’ll be happy with that shows how much he loves the club. unlike Vik who wants out so much his agent is playing every game possible.
