There is also another aspect. They are bolstering their future negotiating position. When they they come to this point with Bellingham or Adyemi (assuming they will be signing him next year) potential buyers will know they mean to stick to their guns.

Yep another good point. This stance was the same with Jadon Sancho too, he wanted out a season earlier but they made him stay and sold on their tetms.

Also in the past they weren’t scared to let Lewandowski’s contract run down even if it meant he left on a free.
