Good news on every level. Sounds constructive. And fair play to him for being a pro, as he always has been. Deserves respect and support, either way.PEH really wants to go. He has made that clear to the club, just as he did in the Summer. He sacked his agent after he failed to get him a move back in Sept/Oct and has since appointed an Italian Brief(with ties to Juve) on an interim basis to try and get him his move. The club have given the green light to discuss his transfer with other clubs but he knows it'll be on our terms and subject to us being able to adequately replace him. He is not part of our long term plans has always been professional, and so all parties are happy for this to happen.
Still a lot of moving parts that need to be put into place but it's more likely than not imo that he goes this window as long as Juve ante up with what we see as an appropriate deal.
If he stays the club are in no doubt he'll crack on and give it 100% for the remainder of the season.
