Why would he sits on the bench when he's above DDG in Spanish national team pecking order? If we are going to sign this guy then it means to upgrade DDG so ten Hag can finally make his team to play more consistent of retaining possession and able to go toe to toe with City. If he's not good enough then it's only 15m, we can sign a new one next summer 2024 so this is actually works for both short and long term. If he's good enough then we are getting him for bargain.
