Zatara
Player Valuation: £100m
Yes I know how the clauses in Spain and Italy work. But we come to my original point; that I doubt we could get him for less than £30 million and that we need to spend any money we do have in other areas really.
RB is a problem and we have no pacey wingers that are any good, and a poor GK. If we spend big on a CB this window, it would be a waste. We have Holgate, Keane (who has just been given a new deal) and Mina, plus Branthwaite. Yes we need cover, but it would seem an odd move. Plus, as good as he is, if he is lacking recovery pace, we shouldn't be looking at him.
I agree, thats why i wrote £25-30mil but the original poster said they needed to sell so depending on benficas circumstances it may be more or it may be less.
Weve got Gordon + Richarlison who look good in the 433 were using and James on the right. We wont sell everyone of the 14 who should be sold this window so someone can act as 4th choice for a season.
We do need a right back (above all else i think) and now looking like a keeper is needed too.
Depends on whose available really, if a top quality player pops up in any of those positions and we can afford him then i think it will just be a case of striking while the irons hot.
Ancelotti may believe Dias will be the best player in world football at centre back...he may not even want him...lets see
