(EDIT meant to reply your more recent post).
Two cents worth is all any of us have on these speculative topics, but we are always very keen to hear anything from non-English sources, particularly direct rider quotes, from those with your talent for languages.
Hard to know what is really going on, whether there is any plan from Honda or whether Jorge just made himself available at a reasonable asking price with Dani definitely gone at the end of the year. I imagine they are not happy with their bike not being in demand from satellite teams and open talk it is all down to MM and that no one else can ride their bike. They may speculate themselves as we do that MM might like to move eventually and is not a career Honda man, and perhaps he has made no indication that he will never leave.
I think Jorge would have to show something extraordinary for Honda to not do everything possible to keep MM, and a young talent both arriving and developing to MM level seems highly unlikely for years, or possibly ever in the view of some.
From MM’s point of view I would imagine he would see a good rider on a bike which could possibly be superior to the HRC bike in a given year eg a Gigi Ducati financed by VW Audi money as his main threat hence the talk of Dovi.

It's just fun and it's part of these kind of talks.
