I think if we are to lose Gundo/Bernardo, his signing would be crucial. A midfield controller we have been crying out for. Versatile, one of the best midfielders in the world. For me, a chance to sign a player like Kimmich, Pep's baby, is truly unique. How perfect is that? Cancelo was great for us for many years, but he is inconsistent as a hothead. Finally, if Cancelo doesn't stay at Bayern, we can forget anyone gives us more than 50m for him, probably less with his wages. Because of all that, I reckon it would be worth giving them up to 50 million + Cancelo.Not sure we need to go all in, I think Kimmich like Rice would be nice but not a priority we would go overboard and spend big money on. Doubt we would pay much more for him than we value Cancelo at.
I really like Rice, but Kimmich is up there with KDB, Bernardo, etc. Rice has a long way to go if he wants to get there.
Gvardiol has already agreed to join us, and a younger (28, but still 5-6 years easily at the top) midfielder would refresh our aging midfield nicely and importantly, only better its standard. I can't think of a more significant signing than this guy. He can cover pretty much all positions at the world-class level :).
