It may have been what was agreed between Emi and the club about a transfer. The (unsubstantiated) mantra is that Emi was persuaded to stay on relegation only if he was to be allowed to move on fir/when promotion was sealed.
The alleged price is significantly greater than estimated by Transfer market although there has clearly been some hardening due to Covid-19.
I suspect the terms offered to Emi by Villa were attractive enough for him (his agent) to push for settlement.
Cantwell is not in that position as far as I can tell so it is easier to draw a red line in the sand and say he stays unless there is an offer we cannot refuse.
