I have no clue what Florentino is up to. Danilo to Madrid makes little sense with Carvajal quickly becoming a very solid RB in both sides of the pitch.
Moreso than anything, it could just be him buying a player to keep away from Barça. A little Market Espionage if you will lol.
I think it's clear our two main targets should be Danilo and Dybala right now, a RB and a AM to take over for Xavi/Iniesta and Alves is a must for the long term future of the team.
I thought we could sign anyone we want and make deals this summer, we just can't register them till January. Can we still make the cash transfer to the clubs and then loan them until January? As a selling club, that's an ideal deal with losing your star player.
I think Danilo isn't a done deal yet however. Neymar is like homies with the dude, and if Alves leaves, I think the prospect of starting at Barça and only competing with Montoya and Douglas versus a much more established Carvajal and Arbeola could sway him the Camp Nou but that's purely conjecture.
Who else could we get to fill Alves if we can't get Danilo, or should we go with Montoya?
