If you were lucky enough to watch him play: Michael Laudrup ahead of everybody.
After that: Pirlo, Lothar Matthaus, and the always criminally forgotten Clarence Seedorf.
Of the more recent ones: Xavi, Modric, Sneijder, Schweinsteiger.
This seems more like a case of different news outlets cobbling things together. It all stems from an interview Gakpo had with the NOS.
He basically said that Utd showed interest weeks before the deadline, but that interest started to wane as time moved forward. Then towards the deadline, and...
Ignoring the absolute insanity of calling Didier Drogba overrated:
Dybala. Every transfer cycle he’s referred to as a top player, but in my mind he’s 28 and I’m still waiting for him to fulfill this great potential he supposedly has.
