I heard Real, Chelsea and PSG want him. I think it was on calciomercato a couple of days ago.
Despite of him being great with us, signing Isla was/is strange. I'd love to keep him, but I don't think it will come out as a shock if we do sell him.
It's not strange, Marotta sells for the right amount like he did with Diego. We have Caceres and Isla. If selling Lichtsteiner means he will increase the bid on other players then be it but if he keeps his offers that get rejected then no.
Diego was of no use to us, Lichtsteiner is. In a back four Lichtsteiner is the best right back we have. He has been here for one season and was excellent in it.
If you could tell me we are not going to use the back four at all next season I'd agree, but I doubt that.
If the theory was that easy I'd probably accept it. In reality we'd sell a player for '€20m' and our position on the market wouldn't change. It's not whether we have the extra money, it's how much we would put on one player.
I think Lichtsteiner is a winner and versatile enough to be of use to us next season.

You may be right on the fact that Marotta does not accept certain amounts on players but my whole argument was that if he wants to open funds to sponsor a deal then Lichtsteiner would be the one sacrificed.
