Brennan Johnson does hold value, there is zero money on the books owed to anyone so if they sell him and they get whatever price for him, it is going to be good business.
But as a fans point of view it does get sticky as he is home grown.

Paul Heckingbottom on Sheffield United's signing of Tom Davies
Sheffield United signed former Everton midfielder Tom Davies this week.
The 25-year-old, who made 179 appearances for Everton, turned down a new deal with the club this summer.
Blades boss Paul Heckingbottom said: "Tom was keen for a fresh start, regardless of the opportunity to stay at Everton, and after we spoke he’s been holding on in the hope of getting things done and we’ve done that.
"We’ve got a hungry player, who has played all his minutes in the Premier League, which is a bonus for us. There's no occasion, no venue, no team that will faze him because that’s all he knows.
"He knows the club and he's played here before. He knows the stadium and the area. He understands what we showed him on how we want to play and how we want to work with him.
"We've told him what we like about him, how he can add to our squad and we want to do what we can to help him improve."
