Joel Piroe would have been in high demand this summer regardless of his contract status, following two solid seasons in the Championship.
The Dutchman’s one-year contract with Swansea City expiring soon, however, has surely increased the allure of a possible transfer, with teams looking for a low-cost agreement.
With the Championship season less than a week away, that hasn’t happened yet.
In light of the fact that Piroe’s future has been the subject of numerous updates throughout the course of the weekend, we have included the most recent information here.
What is Joel Piroe’s asking price from Swansea City?
The transfer money the Swansea City team will want for the player this summer is one of the more significant stories concerning the forward that broke over the weekend.
In fact, a report from the previous weekend purported to know the number that the Swans are chasing.
The revelation was first reported by Football Insider, who stated that Swansea City was expected to want a summer transfer cost of between £15 and £20 million for their top player.
Football Insider also disclosed that Swansea City was not in a hurry to sell its player, even if they were expecting offers.
But, more information about the player that surfaced this weekend might make the price estimate mentioned above obsolete.
Swansea’s valuation of Piroe at £15–20 million, for instance, is all well and good, but the player still has control because he has one year remaining on his deal and may go for free the following summer.
That’s just what Piroe is reportedly thinking of doing, according to Alan Nixon via Patreon. The player is reportedly content to finish current season at Swansea City rather than take advantage of a free transfer to Italy in the summer.
In fact, according to Nixon, Swansea’s high asking price has turned away Leeds and Leicester, but Piroe isn’t worried about his future. A mystery Serie A team is prepared to extend an offer to him in January, with a summer transfer planned.
Owing to the aforementioned circumstances and Piroe’s apparent lack of concern about his future, it appears that he will likely stay with the team once current transfer window closes.
That’s according to a late-night report on Sunday from WalesOnline.
According to their source, an agreement on this had been previously agreed upon with the club’s former Chief Executive Julian Winter. Additionally, the player’s representation are reportedly unhappy with the club’s recommendations on how to structure a potential transaction. Swansea’s valuation of Piroe is reportedly a subject of contention.
According to WalesOnline, Swansea is still open to receiving a bid for Piroe this summer, but a deal that pleases Piroe’s team would be difficult to arrange.
