But we could offer a bigger deal in 3 years than someone could in 4 so 6m over 3 years as oppose to 4 you would take the 3 wouldn't you
Doesn't matter what i would take. I'm not Gini.
He is already 30 so he figures this is probably his last big contract and wants it to be for 4 years instead of 3. If that is the case, it is within his rights just as it is within ours not to go past 3 years.
We need to get used to this situation, because we'll be in the same boat in the near future as Van Dijk, Matip, Bobby, Mane and Salah are on the cusp of turning 30 and Hendo already is. That is a lot of players (plus Thiago) to lock up until age 33-34 and very risky, so i think the team will have to make some very tough decisions in the upcoming months.
