I would think a lot rests on what happens between now and the Summer. Maybe if he makes motions about wanting to leave, then it would be to the detriment of the team of course.
However, if a move just "happens", so to speak, in the close season and it's at the end of a trophyless campaign, I'd still think he'd be welcomed back with adulation whenever/however he comes back.
