Would prefer Fabinho if its not him
Dortmund will sell if Weigl wants to leave. You are right though, he'd cost us a pretty penny, £80m+ IMO.Unfortunately I think it will be next to impossible to buy Julian Weigl from Dortmund. He's got a contract until 2021. At the best of times Dortmund are c***s to deal with, and having sold Dembele they don't exactly need money. It's gonna take a very large amount of money getting Weigl.

De Bruyne Gundogan

He wouldn't be cheap, but would be a perfect pivot for our system and could be at the club for a decade so it's a no brainer for me.Dortmund is feeder Club. They will sell

Not saying it hasn't happened before but he is a 1860 Munich supporter (and came through their academy) and you would hope he might not want to play for them.
I suppose on the other hand he might like to move back to Munich but he comes across as a genuine supporter (still visits during time off), so there should be some resentment towards them.
We have very good midfielders out on loan, ( Douglas Luiz and two Garcias
