I know my proposed swap deals are almost impossible to happen but here is a transfer window I'd be ok with (not exactly what I'd do since I'd stay away from Lautaro but he's our primary target and will probably be our first signing).
- Lautaro (70m + Vidal)
- Soyuncu (20m + Coutinho)
- Fabian Ruiz (40m + Umtiti)
- Dest for 20-25m or bring back Emerson for half the price (12m) if possible
Sell:
- Semedo to Bayern/City for 40m
So totally around 100m net spend. Our usual transfer budget every summer is 60m and I think this is what we can realistically spend this year. We could make up a difference by selling Raki (10-15m), Cucu (6m + we'll get 40% of a future transfer fee if Getafe sells him immediately) and then maybe some loan fee for Dembele. I really like him and would prefer to keep him but Braithwaite can go to a midtable EPL team for 10-15m since he probably won't play much behind Messi, Suarez, Griezmann, Lautaro, Fati, Trincao and possibly Dembele (if he stays and is healthy). I'd like to keep Alena as a 5th/6th midfielder but he can be sold with a buy-back option for 10-15m and we keep Pedri. Neto could bring us some decent money if needed and could be replaced by Inaki Pena. Barca B players like Araujo, Monchu and Collado can also be sold with a BBO, the same for Oriol Busquets.
Far from ideal but I think we'd be an improved team with these moves.
