The issue won’t be the salary. By extending his contract by a further 3 years we can amortise his transfer fee for another 6 years. There’s currently 31.5 mill remaining or 10.5mill a year. So if he extends for a further 3 years, that fee will be amoritsed to 5.25 mill. So we can offer him an extra 5.25 mill pounds a year or 100,000 pounds a week without negatively affecting our PSR position. However, he will want an out if a mega club comes in for him. So the negotiation will be on the release clause value. He has 3 years left on his contract, so Newcastle hold the leverage. It makes sense for him to back himself to continue to score goals, keep his value high, sign a new deal with a release clause of say 160 mill in the event Newcastle don’t qualify for champions league, that’s still attractive to mega clubs. But Newcastle don’t lose out.
