Enzo Fernandez. Younger, cheaper, easier to obtain.
Never seen him and maybe that is why he seems the best fit to me. DeJOng is the best of his type out there I believe.
People mentioning Noorgard must be on something, several levels below, decent player but at the right level now if you ask me.
Bissouma I like but totally different player, wouldn tmind him nex to DeJong actually.
I think the closest available fit would be Neves and slightly further forward, Tielmans, personally dont think either transform us and are levels below again.
But back to Fernadez, only seen youtube *sigh* and read about him....but he seems very highly rated, versatile and the big thing for me is the release clause. Mad to say about a plyer never even watched, but that release clause and what I have read about him kind of tells me we should be in fo rhim as a midfield signing regardless of whether or not we sign DeJOng.
Much closer to home, I feel Hannibal actually has a lot of good attributes to play a similar role to DeJong, but the temperament playing there is a concern currently
