Define "decent fee". How much would Blackburn be looking for? Would other clubs be willing to meet that amount for a player who: -is 29 in September, (no resale value). -has 3 years left on his contract. -has never had a season like this before at any level (has played 3 seasons in L1 & 3 seasons in L2) -This is his 3rd season in the Championship, so would he take 3 seasons to adapt to the Premier League too? There's plenty good Championship goalscorers who don't make the step up at all. If they get relegated this season, sure, they'll sell him. If not, it might be worth more to keep him and either make a promotion run (if they get their sh*t together), or simply help them avoid relegation again. They sold Brereton-Diaz last summer, at the age of 24, to Villarreal for £16m, off the back of 2 good seasons: 2022/23- 14 goals, 4 assists in 43 apps 2021/22- 22 goals, 3 assists in 37 apps They sold Adam Armstrong, at age 24, to Southampton for £17m, again off the back of 2 very good seasons: 2020/21- 28 goals, 5 assists in 40 apps 2019/20- 16 goals, 6 assists in 46 apps This season Armstrong has 20 goals, 13 assists in 43 apps, but his 2 seasons in the Premier League were poor: 2022/23- 2 goals, 1 assist in 30 apps 2021/22- 2 goals, 2 assists in 23 apps They won't get anything like £16m for Szmodics, maybe not even half, so is it actually worth it to sell him?

Yes, you're right. Market value was £16m.

He'll have resale value if he scores goals in the Premier League, teams don't ignore attackers who can score just because they're within a couple of years of turning 30. Any lower end Premier League team will be looking at Szmodics, what happens after that is up to him.

He'll push for a move I'd say. Colchester to squad player at Bristol to Peterborough who are not big payers to a punt signing by Blackburn, he won't have anything like the money a Championship top scorer can earn & he will want that while he can still get it at 29 this year.
