Of course, but......
Just go back to Poch's attitude towards Walker wanting to leave, from memory he had 3yrs still left on his contract. (I support that attitude from any manager).
It is the length of the contract that dictates the value of the player. If the will of the player is to leave there will not be many managers that would want a player with that attitude in their team, it stinks the place out. All the players will know this, it affects the entire group and undermines the authority of a manager by putting him in an almost impossible position in player selection.
The most worrying thing is that he's pushing so hard to leave (all these stories exist because of his camp) that he's actually shitting on us by doing it now, with +two games to go!!! This absolutely stinks and is totally selfish (not him moving but the timing). It also strongly suggests that he has agreed to join another Club (just like Walker), assume it's City they can say they are going to pay more blah, blah, blah but what he's doing is actually making it harder for us to maximize his value, he doesn't give a shit what he's sold for, his motivation is to move, whether Spurs get £50m or £150m he literally doesn't care about that. His actions are making it harder for us to get his highest value.
Right now, with his desire made clear we have to get +£100m for him, if he's already got a handshake deal with say City then he can turn his nose up at PSG if they come in, that makes Levy's job even harder.
If I were Mason I 100% wouldn't select him at the weekend, especially given his display in his "last home game" in front of a fanvase that have done nothing but adore him for 7yrs. He shat on them (us) in the biggest way a player possibly could. By not playing him you deny him the possibility of getting the golden boot too.
