Yeah, but there is a difference between buying Dest to be your RB and then find out he's also quite useful playing on the left and signing Maehle who has played 90% of his games for Atalanta and previously Genk on the right and hope he'll turn out good as a LWB just because he's doing well there for Denmark. NT football is different as teams are more limited with their player selection than clubs who can buy anyone they can afford. Denmark have Wass who is a solid RB so they're playing Maehle as a LB as he's better than their alternative there.
Now obviously if we wouldn't already have Emerson (who deserves a chance) and Dest (alongside Roberto who might stay as well for another season for all we know) and if at the same time we wouldn't look for someone who would be immediate competition for Alba and could potentially replace him longterm then I wouldn't mind buying Maehle as a versatile backup RB/LB if affordable for a good price but in current situation signing him wouldn't make much sense imo. And this has nothing to do with Maehle personally who I actually quite like as a player.
Spinazzola is a different story though as he has played a lot of games for Roma as a LB/LM so a club trying to buy him to play the same positon would have a much bigger sample size than just a few NT games.
