Where there is smoke, there is fire... Dunno if it's happening 100%, but it's sure both M-Sport Ford and Tanak are courting each other.

Oh yes. I totally agree with you.
And also, Tänak has been quite polite and quiet on years 2020 to 2021.

More interesting to me is if he goes who replaces him?

Is Suninen an option? I mean, he has been there a year now, even did Monza in the WRC car last year and it's hard for me to see Toyota letting Hyundai take one of their drivers. Also, is Sordo continuing doing another 4 events for next year or are they stepping up Solberg Jr. to a full season?
Only you know your true potential.

Why Tanak, very demanding, not so nice guy to be teammate, but super fast and ruthless rally driver would go to M-Sport, considering that M-Sport to has ok speed car, constant reliability issues (most probably bcs of budget restrains), lack of full scale budget to even run PETs...; after his contract ends with Hyundai - ok, possible, just for fun; otherway - no Ford or some other big backing, no Tanak for Malcolm.

Would be a stupid decision to leave Hyundai for Msport. Hyundai have been constantly improving their car throughout the year and have won 3rallies in a row. 3 rallies that are very different types of events and surfaces. And the car has been more reliable than that fragile shell Msport have.
But then everyone knew moving to Hyundai from Toyota was a stupid decision, but he did that anyway!

Hey, just rewatch this Tänak's interview:
https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1149515018983661
It's just analytical #nofilter honest answer with sharing own opinion and point of view. Explaining as well, that it's a shame he was not able to fight for the lead/win because of troubles earlier.
I think it' too much drama built out of that.
For me, it's hard to see that Tänak may want to leave Hyundai and all what he and team have built there with 2 years. Car seems to be improving and there is no hope at least for next year.
At the same time I need to admit I thought the same way when he was in Toyota but he still left.
Some funny "Mäkinen" statement to conclude the situation:
