For 4th choice he would be good. More realistic than the usual names banded about. We won't get ripped off either.

The more I think about it the more I want us to spend like £25m max on a replacement, but ideally less than that. Makes the most sense to me. 4th choice CB is not a position you want to over-invest in. Better to use it elsewhere.

There were a few links to Bastoni a while back who actually isn't going to the WC with Italy. His agent did say he wouldn't be leaving Inter, however.His name has been banded about here but anyone else?
That is the problem with signing a replacement for Ake now.For 4th choice he wouldn’t sign.
Inter would rinse us if he was.There were a few links to Bastoni a while back who actually isn't going to the WC with Italy. His agent did say he wouldn't be leaving Inter, however.
So. Let me get this straight.
Juve -> De Ligt -> Chelsea -> Azpi Alonso -> Barca -> De Jong -> United -> Ronaldo -> ?????, Bayern -> Lewa -> Barca, Us - Sterling, Ake -> Chelsea, Chelsea & Barca both after Raphina. Bayern also linked with De Ligt.
Where are Real? Sr Perez. Dealing with the wounds inflicted by PSG keeping Mbappe again. And us getting Haaland.
Big mouth. Achieved fuck all last time. Gazumped us for Kaka. Stole Alaba on a free. Fucked up super league big time. Mouthing off. Mouthing off about Mbappe & Neymar. He and Tebas mouthed off about everyone. Always thought it funny that Tebas made such a big spectacle of Barca's woes. No one in the above list has any reason to deal with him. Same for Tottenham and Arsenal, due to his stupid handling of the Super League debacle.
I reckon Bayern would let him have Gnabry. And that's about it.
Fuck Florentino...
True, but he's accustomed to being the number 1 guy...he won't go for being number 4...For 4th choice he would be good. More realistic than the usual names banded about.

Why? He’ll have a toddler and be on mega wages?In a couple of seasons it would.
Theres no way any club would fork out £55m on a defender that they try to sell on 18 months later in advance.
That’s just bonkers.

I don’t understand the meltdown. He has started 19 league games in 2 seasons and was absolute dump in at least half of those. He cost £40m and at no point has he looked like he could be a long-term replacement/alternative to those above him in the pecking order. Nothing against the lad but he wasn’t good enough for us when we bought him, and he isn’t good enough for anything more than a bit-part role now. Making a profit given we vastly overpaid for him is nothing short of a minor miracle. Snap their desperate hand off.
