Theres no way we can afford 2 forwards. We have 3 midfielders when Rakitic and Vidal leave (+Alena, Roberto?). We need a CB as well. Best case for me would be ~100ME for an attacker, ~50ME for a CB and ~50ME for a midfielder. And even that is a stretch with our finances (and Trincao, Braithwaite). My preference would be:
1) Lautaro
2) Upamecano (was really impressive vs Bayern and "rather" cheap, dont think we can pull another Umtiti for 20ME out of the hat)
3) Partey, Camavinga, Soumare? At least a physical midfielder would be nice.
Havent watched Soumare though, Partey is happy in Madrid and Camavinga is Real bound, but maybe theres a chance with the latter. We definitely have the better perspective for Camavinga (+they sacked the one negotiating with Madrid).
Arthur-Camavinga-Frenkie looks great to me, but that depends on how people/our coaches see Frenkie - for me hes clearly a CM.
