I think that's exactly what will happen - we'll offer him a big pay rise back-dated to the start of the season, and possibly extended for another year. That way everyone wins - he gets more money whilever he stays with us, but when someone matches the release clause he gets his move, with another pay rise and probably a signing on fee too.Ndiaye is in a strong negotiating position. What I think will happen, and what Lundstram should have done, is he'll sign a new deal on much improved terms but insist on clauses to enable his sale in the event that top league sides express and interest andmeet a minimum threshold in their offer. Due to Ndiaye's negotiating position, this figure will be much lower than would normally be expected i.e. £15-20m.
Of course, should Utd go up, they could offer further improved terms in a bid to keep him
