Matthijs de Ligt

FDJ quoted as saying he'd like to move to the same club.I'd be content to sacrifice Otamendi for that to happen.Still leaves room for one of the kids to develop into Vinnie's shoes.

And tbf Otamendi is still at an age where we'd get a decent fee for him. Some CL club in Europe would bring him in surely

Otamendi just signed a new contract, don’t think he’ll be going anywhere.

Could be 5 central defenders next season if Kompany agrees a new contract and De Ligt comes in. I don’t know where that leaves us for space in the squad, especially considering we’re rumoured to bring in two more midfielders as well.

or Vinnie steps back in to a coaching role. His contract is up at the end of the season.

Looks good but concerns around if he is quick enough on the turn and in 1 V 1 situations? Also is he ready to step into our team? Do we need him now?

Didn't Vinnie say recently he wanted to keep playing beyond next season?

Much as I like de Ligt, if we could only have one, I'd rather every penny went on de Jong.

Pep says he wants him to stay next season,i think we will offer him a year at least

From the little I have seen............ I totally agree. We need de Jong far more than de Ligt.

Wouldn't be surprised if we offer him something along the lines of player coach. Incredibly intelligent footballer / born leader / role model, he ticks all the boxes to make a fantastic coach, just depends whether he would be interested in staying even with less game time. He could then build experience and eventually become a manager.

Personally I also wouldn't be surprised to see him go back to Anderlecht at some point.

He will quickly learn that we never get everything we want.

After a few thropies, acolades and a fatter wallet. He'sHget comfortable with just summer-ing together with his besties :)
