Alfie new deal?

He’s currently well secured under a contract. Adding more wages & time to his current deal isn’t going to boost his value.

Only his goals will.

Goal scoring and assists are obviously critical to his value but so is time remaining on his contract.

Anyway it is a bit jumping to a conclusion based on a few emojis.

My understanding - from someone who claims to know and should know - is that his current contract has no minimum release clause.

Minimum release clauses are much rarer than many on here seem to think. Spanish clubs often have 'buy out' clauses, which aren't quite the same thing and which are usually pitched at astronomical levels and are totally unrealistic, but, in general, a release clause is fairly unusual. For good reasons, we could pitch it at £20m and undervalue the asset after a good period of form, or we could pitch it at a higher figure and basically scare off any potential suitors. Having nothing set in the contract allows the club to only deal when they want to deal, and at the level they are prepared to accept, not when they are forced to.

Finally someone who speaks a bit of sense regarding this.

The obsession on here is mental, we've probably never had a player with one.
 
lets say he gets a 3k rise a week but adds another year, its only going to cost the club 4-5 months worth so about 60-70k more assuming we sell in the summer but we can bump up his price by a couple million because the extra length of the contract, makes complete sense
 
If it means he'll stay for longer or we will be able to command a higher fee then it's a good thing. If he is away at the end of the season like the moaners are saying then it's hardly going to cost us much extra.

Not sure where the talk of minimum fee release clauses came from, first I've heard about that. I don't see why we would add one if there isn't one in his existing contract.

He's had about 3 new deals since he joined and his last one takes him to 2023. Assuming he's off in the Summer, what would be the point in giving him another new one?

Bump up his wages for 5 months therefore the transfer fee required
 
I think some people get a wee bit carried away with EPL pie in the sky figures and football manager sometimes.

A player is worth purely what a club will pay.
A new contract does not automatically induce a potential buying club to think “uh oh, that’s another 5million on the bill lads, pass us that other chequebook will you?”

Perhaps not, but it does strengthen the selling clubs position when it comes to negotiating fees. The shorter time left on a deal increases pressure on a club to sell at a reduced level as asset value dwindles.

Longer time left on a contract allows the club to turn offers down and seek a desired market value. If the buying club really want the player and not just trying to get a 'bargain' then they will pony up in the end if the asking price is reasonable.
 
I'd be happy with that. There would be no stronger sign that he will be here another season if signed an extension.

Why,he just signed an improved extension under 12 months ago?

He is a far better player than 12 months ago, he is also an asset that will be worth far more than what we pay out on a pay rise. An 18 months minimum of Alfredo is great news
 
He’s 3 years left on his deal
We shouldn’t be giving him a new one unless he’s still here after the summer window
 
I've a funny feeling that if we win the league he will stick around for a crack at the champions league.
He is happy and loves it here.
The gaffer is taking him to Liverpool after 58

Of course but we’re talking relatively here.

The length of time already left in conjunction with the fees discussed make that “strengthening” negligible IMO.

Better get in touch with the club and offer your services as a football contract expert just in case!
 
It's always a good idea to have your player sign a new and improved contract as it shows him that he is valued and it shows the fans how much we value him. It also shows other suitors just how much he expects to earn somewhere else and shows them that we won't let him go on the cheap.

Good move Rangers.
