the current situation in Athletic makes it possible, but lol if that happens, now he's worth a third of what his price was 3 months ago

Which makes him very likely to join, arsenal and city are after him and apperantly he stated he would prefer a move to arsenal.

he'd definetely fit better in Arsenal

Athletic is a very, very, very stubborn club though, they might even prefer keeping him punished until his contract expires than selling him. I think they'd negotiate if Arsenal made an offer, but I can't say it would surprise me if they'd rather loose the money.

That makes Athletic pretty weird tho, why have a striker who is wanting to leave to stay and not get a penny for it. I guess it's all about the ego of the club?

No, it's about setting a line and sticking to it. It will only profit them in the long run too IMO.

They do indeed have a humongous ego and they are too proud to give in to a player's demands; they only step back when they really feel it's the only thing they can do.

Also what Sunshines said is an important factor, but it's related to their ego: they always want to teach their players (and the world) that Athletic is above everything and everyone.

It's odd for a club like Athlethic to have that kind of ego. You know a club like that will have to sell their talents eventually, why not make profit out of it.
