Plenty of social media talk that we're in talks with Roma about loan with them signing Malen for 20m or so in the summer.
Would be surprised if we let him go mid season.
He's probably never going to be a regular starter with how we set up but he's shown his quality off the bench this season and if you're playing a 60 game season and aiming to win trophies you need guys like that to come off the bench and swing games. I'm convinced he'll score a crucial goal for us in the Europa knockouts.
He might also have a decent World Cup so we could get better price in the summer.
Not sure it's a great plan to let him go and then hope Guessand can finally get going as I've just watched 3-4 games of him playing CF for his national team so we seem to be using him in reverse to Malen.
Roma sending Bailey back to then get Malen on loan would be a massive pee take aswell.
