Now that it would seem Martial wants out, and given that we need a right winger in the summer, could a possible swap deal between Martial and Perišić be beneficial for all parties?
On one hand Martial is younger and with bags of potential, but on the other hand we need probably 4 players in the summer (arguably 5 if you want a CB too; since we need two fullbacks, a central midfielder and a right winger) and in a World Cup year, this will be extra tough.
Should we look into this? We floated the idea of Willian + cash to Chelsea, could we do the same to Inter? Would they pay? Could they afford to pay if they want to?
My understanding is that he plays wide left which could be a problem, but given that he is very much two-footed and good at crossing he could be used to keep width on the right while Sanchez cuts in on the left. Mourinho did the same with Chelsea, using Hazard to come inside while Willian stays wide; could he be planning to use the same strategy for us? Willian was given a great deal of defensive responsibility, and Perišić does the same for Inter, so it could make sense for Mourinho to identify similarities between the two.
