A Bournemouth fan, however, defended the valuation, saying:

“Sensible price. Bournemouth don’t want to sell. If you want him, dig deep.”

Another said:

"He’s worth every penny. Outstanding player."

@BassfordDan added:·

"Clubs don't want to sell their best players. He's worth that to Bournemouth. If you don't want to spend big money, you don't have to buy him. Same goes for Southampton and every other club."

According to Yahoo Sports, Bournemouth justify their demand by pointing to similar fees paid for other Premier League wingers, such as Manchester United’s £80 million signing of Antony and Chelsea’s £62 million purchase of Mykhailo Mudryk, who has struggled to make an impact.
