Žan Vipotnik leaving Swansea City?
Speaking to FLW, Will Hughes said he thinks the player will certainly leave the club in the summer. Hughes suggested potential suitors could be teams promoted to the Premier League or relegated teams with parachute payments that might be looking for a striker. He said that in January, there was talk of a Serie A club potentially looking at the player. Hughes believes it may be the optimal time to sell the player, as he has two years remaining on a four-year contract, which could potentially generate the most money. He added that if the club waits until the next summer, the player would have only one year left on his contract, and teams would offer significantly less money. Hughes thinks this is the ideal time to sell and questioned whether this season is an anomaly or just a temporary period of good form. He feels the club is overdue for a significant sale, noting that the last one exceeding the £10 million mark was Joel Piroe. Hughes stated that £10 million to £15 million is likely the typical price for a goalscoring striker in the Championship and would represent a reasonably good transaction, also noting the player is in his early 20s. Although Hughes has seen a £20 million figure mentioned, he does not believe the player is worth that amount but said Swansea City should accept such an offer if it were made. He also suggested that if the player remains the top goalscorer, it could increase his transfer fee, and a sale in the range of £10m-£15m would create an opportunity to strengthen other areas of the pitch.
