No need to plan ahead, just need an offer that’s too good to refuse and it will be enough to make it happen out of nowhere, now that’s how you usually end up overpaying for unknown flops as panic replacements.

But on a more serious note, i think Thuram is in no rush to go anywhere unless we force him out, i’d imagine himself personally wanting to stick around for at least one more season and not jump ship when the team is struggling, then hopefully also wants to first become a winner here before actually planning to move on.
