Mateus Mané

I would imagine the "sources" for this news are dubious, to say the least, but in news which will surprise nobody:

Is there a world where he’s sold but loaned back to us? Especially if it’s a top team signing him?

I guess if he was loaned out would be to another prem side?
 
Portugal don't have a competitive game until the World Cup so no really opportunity for a cynical call up to commit him to them.
 
He’ll probably fetch around £40m in the summer. If he stays and has a good year in the Championship he won’t be worth a lot more. Fine to keep him if there’s plenty of money for a rebuild but that seems unlikely and £40m would go a long way to building a squad capable of promotion, though whether we have the right people to recruit and manage such a squad is open to debate. We’re not really in a position to risk such a sum on one player who could get injured. Put it another way would we spend £40m on an 18 year old? Obviously it’s a hypothetical question as no such player is joining a Championship club.

It shouldn't be unlikely though, should it?

With parachute payments and also the players we'll undoubtedly be selling in the summer, aside from Mane?

They’d be mad to spend it all in one summer and leave nothing in the bank if we get it wrong as there’s a high chance we will. I think a lot of players will want to leave, certainly the Brazilians plus a few others so there should be enough to rebuild the squad and keep some in reserve.
