Let’s use the football analogy for you to make things a little simpler. Man united had pogba as a kid they let him go as didn’t see value to pay him higher wages etc. He was probably valued at a couple of million. Pogba went on to excel at juve, many clubs had discussions but didn’t make bids nor were any discussions disclosed at the value. It eventually came to a crescendo were united paid 89m. We didn’t hear about other bids. United are listed on stock exchange they probably get bids all the time for players and the club but don’t go disclosing. Like when the Saudis were interested they probably used 3rd party to sound out.
Same with say Harry Maguire united could have signed him from Sheffield United for peanuts had they seen all that potential and how the game changed for need for ball playing centre back. Some said he was worth x market value increased (but like palladium is and will keep doing along with pgms) and bit like eua sites that they keep pricing up. they eventually paid a shed load.
You have no idea what discussions have been had around value. Sorry but some bid of say 100m when they value it at say 5bn would not even be rns so don’t try and mislead. As I said yesterday instis piled in on the placing in the 20s.
