No, sorry, missed the bit about “half the price.” Agree. I think some of those would be available for 60m though.
Which ones?
De Ligt had an offer and chose Juventus.
We aren't signing rival players, so VvD and Laporte is pointless to argue about.
We don't need old defenders, so Ramos, Bonucci & Chiellini are out of the question.
Varane & Koulibaly (and Gimenez with his 120m euro release clause) will not go for 60 million or less. Hell, they won't go for 80 million either.
You can't sign players PSG don't want to get rid of, unless their contract is out, that rules out Marquinhos (as he has 3 years left on his contract).
We don't need more sick-notes, so Umtiti is not someone that should have been considered.
All in all that leaves Gimenez, who got his release clause increased from 65 million euros to 120 million euros in 2018.
Do you watch Ajax, Liverpool, City, Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG, Juventus and Atletico Madrid enough to actually pass judgement so easily on who is better and more suited to the club?
