I wonder if Levy put Utd off by saying if you want any chance of signing Eriksen this summer, then you do not take advantage of Alderweireld's £25m release clause. Taking 2 players off us within a few months would cause a meltdown.
I'm sure Toby's agent has reassured him that in just a few months he'll have a lucrative pre-contract deal lined up - possibly with Utd. Toby will be cool with that, but it is pretty disgraceful it has come to this.
I don’t think he can sign a pre-contract domestically.
