Looks like Ousmane Dembélé on his way to Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund. Incredible talent but €100m? Cost €15m from Rennes last summer
I reckon it´s a lot of money. Will not be paid in full, obviously.
When i start to think in other players beside Dembélé like there are only a few that come to mind with the profile that we need. Young, talented, skillfull, scoring goals, make a lot of assists, can play in 1-2 touches combinations, speed and pace, good decision making. We tried to sign him last year but he was wise choosing playing time in Dortmund.
1. Hazard is "imposssible" to get.
2.Insigne, which i rate above Dembélé at the moment, would cost around the same and it´s 26. 6 years older.
3. Dybala - would be even more expensive and i dont see playing on that role. We would have to change our system. That seem dangerous to me. New coach+plus system already in August.
4 - Griezmann - 200M release clause. End of subject
5 - Mbappe - a mix between winger and forward but more of a forward of course. Even more expensive as reports say. And if Dembele is unproven with 2 seasons in Rennes and Dortmund what about Mbappe with half a season in Monaco? I would love to have Mbappe but we do not endless money.
6- Alexis - Would be cheaper indeed. Would he return? He´s 30. He usually plays in a free role position very near the striker. But main "concerns are age and player will to return. He was not that good in the 1st time. I was here
7-Coutinho - Already being targeted. I love him. Has the bonus of playing 2 positions: Lw and CM of course.
8 - Di Maria - I dont think PSG want to sell us anyone except the failures like Guedes, Jese, Krychowiak and Ben Arfa.
Paying a large sum but that you can profit for a 10/12 year span is a lot better than the mistakes in recent past: Mathieu, Vermaelen, Arda were almost 30. No evolution there.
