Poor article, poor accounting. If he sees out his contract it will cost Saints £100k a week regardless of whether we turn down a bid of £18m or £80m.
Assuming £40k/week & £12.5m fee

Southampton have made an £8million bid for Celtic centre-back Virgil van Dijk, writes ALAN NIXON
Boss Ronald Koeman wants to bring in the classy Dutchman, 24, despite landing Steven Caulker on loan from QPR.
Van Dijk has been looking to move to England for some time. Saints think £8m is fair, especially as he has already played in Europe this season so is cup-tied.
However the Glasgow giants want more and have no need to sell, so the haggling could go on.
Still only the one book (Bet Victor)
This evening they have pushed us out to 11/8, having shortened us to evens yesterday.
They also go 4/7 about spurs, from 1/3.
