Ogier is a smart guy and he definitely knows how much he's worth. That said, I would be amazed if he were to go to Citroen for anything short of "never have to work again" money. Maybe not even then. He wants ten championships.

He went to MSport because he has massive respect for Malcolm Wilson and he thought the Toyota was much worse than it turned out to be. But last year they pulled off one of the greatest cinderella stories in motorsports history, and now they have significant technical backing from Ford, Ogier is still getting paid what he deserves (although probably not nearly as much as at VW considering all those victory bonuses he used to get), and he doesn't have to do any PR stuff.

IF Ogier were to return to Citroen, it would only be after ironclad assurances of a long-term commitment to the sport with enough budget and technical resources to make it a winning car. And given the might of Toyota and Hyundai, that's a very big ask. I don't envy Pierre Budar his job.
