I think it’s a gamble Hibs could afford to take as we aren’t relying on that money and the guy enjoying himself could be good for him.
It’s not a gamble I think the player could justify making though. He’s on the verge of being practically made for life (ive no idea what he’d get paid but if it’s a transfer fee upwards of £500k and he’s in demand, you’d assume he could demand a very good wage), would be crazy for him to do anything that could put that at risk.
