Just the comment about whatever the issue is seriously lowering his future value that made me wonder.It's clearly not gone as far as a medical for both clubs to drop their price, you can't accept two bids and have a medical at both clubs.
Is it possible that the club's can check his medical/ injury file even before it gets to medical stage? It is there to see online that he had hip surgery in the past.
Obviously I'm just speculating, and if that was the case, maybe it would actually help persuade him to sign a new deal. Also could be why Everton released him on a free without even offering a new deal and why we only gave him a 1+1.
Like I said, just speculating
