Its a "reported" bid - but even so - Carlton Palmer believes £10M is not enough for Boro to sell Marcus Tavernier.

“Not enough” – Carlton Palmer delivers verdict on Bournemouth’s expected bid for Middlesbrough midfielder​

Whilst this summer at Middlesbrough will be about recruiting intelligently in order to mount a promotion push, Chris Wilder will also be hoping to keep hold of some of his more integral first-teamers.

Marcus Tavernier is one current Boro player who is of interest in the higher division, with Bournemouth reportedly readying a £10 million bid for the creative midfielder.

Isaiah Jones is another who is being watched in the Premier League, with Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham all monitoring his situation at the Riverside Stadium.

Addressing Bournemouth’s interest, and the suggested £10 million bid, Carlton Palmer told FLW:

“It boils down to your ability and being able to adapt, but I think he could do.

“First of all, I think 10 million is not enough and I don’t believe Middlesbrough would accept 10 million for him.

“And it’s a difficult one, you know, the club will be trying, I’m sure Chris Wilder will be trying to convince him to stay to help them get promoted and say right next season, you will be playing in the Premier League with Middlesbrough.”
 
I don't want him sold.. but he's one hell of a talent and deserves to be playing premier league football.

Comparable players and associated transfer fees:

Marcus Tavernier - £18m
Eberechi Eze - £16m
Ruben Neves - £20m

Djed Spence - £20m
Adama Traore - £18m
Ryan Sessegnon - £24m

Dael Fry - £21m
Adam Webster - £20m
Ben Godfrey - £22m
 
Inflation is moving the market - e.g. Traore was in 2018 prices up 20% since then.

Tav's a player to build a team around for me and his price is increasing all the time. Not in a million year would I sell him for £10m. If Bournemouth come in with £15m we would have to consider what's available to replace him, but I think I would still not be happy, because attracting top qulaity to the Championship is not easy when you are not in London (for foreign players) nor have parachute payments (to help with promotion).

Tav is loads better

Than Ruben Neves? The Ruben Neves currently linked with a 40£ million move to Man Utd?
Quick, somebody from the club should get onto them and tell them we’ve got this player who is loads better, and they can have him for half the price, £20 mil.

Eze scored 14 goals the season that got him his premier league move. He showed alot more that season than Tav has this season.
