Not saying Emerson is a bad player but just because another club want a player, doesn't mean he's WOW or anything like that. After all, you're talking about a club who swapped Cancelo for Danilo and intended to do the same with Dybala for Lukaku. Furthermore, Atletico bought Torres and Morata from us, would you say they're top players when the deals happened? If Emerson has only 2 years left on his contract now, then I would understand the need to perhaps extend it ASAP but that's not the case. What if his current form is just a purple patch? What if we suddenly ended up with another deadwood on a long term contract?
