setting a high price and saying they were just as happy to keep him, suggest there is some fight
but at the end of the day who knows what to believe
i still think their no1 option would be to retain him on a new long term contract. the window is open and the mfc need to get going now not at the end of 2019
it would seem jesse wasn't prepared to accept no1 option so this is now playing out (and good for the club being strong)
