He's got 1 year left on his current deal, and iirc clubs can start talking to players within the last 6 months of their contract.

If the Nix ask for too much to begin with it would ward off interested parties, and possibly annoy the player as well. The other club/s could then just come back in 6 months and negotiate with the player who would then leave on a free.

Basically the sweet spot is to have players with 2-3 years left remaining on their contracts. That allows far greater negotiating power from the selling club, driving the price up. Also handy to have more than one interested party which could drive up the asking price too.
