tbf Gusto seems like a great choice

is ok defending, is ok attacking, can invert, knows what Maresca wants and demands, still only 23- right age profile, Chelsea also is stacked in RB - James and Achampeaong

would be cheap-ish, 40-50mil

Looks a proper **** with those pigtails though !
 
We’ve had sufficient churn in the last three windows secured two trophies and come close in the League, all before the squad has truly settled. It would therefore be silly to keep churning at a high rate. Time instead for natural wastage to thin it out and to add 2-3 pieces. Unless they choose to leave, cries for new/young players to be discarded, before they’ve even had an opportunity to demonstrate what they can do, only calls into question the judgement of those who signed them, so why would we then trust them to identify better?

For me, Anderson, another midfielder, and Reis should suffice. Anything extra would be dependent on losing players early: Kovacic, Ake, Rodri.
 
Can't see us buying any chelsea players tbh, though with Maresca coming I get why there might be rumours/he might want them. But won't happen, not after a bitter situation where we took their manager.
 
Maresca is a little ruthless when it comes to the squads he's had, at Chelsea he fully dropped players that he didn't want, I wouldn't put it past him to do it here. Players don't fit his system they will be gone he's got previous for doing this.

Yes Chelsea was different though ,he had more players than he could register or use, that won't be the case with us.To be honest there aren't really any players that don't fit his system, though some will be better than others. I think our targets won't change from whether Pep did another year or Maresca coming in.
 
Juventus interesed in Reijnders

' A quality midfielder/attacking midfielder will be a priority in any case. "We're missing a player who's good in tight spaces and tight areas," Spalletti repeatedly reiterated at press conferences. With the Portuguese player gone, Juventus circles have focused on two players familiar with the Italian league: Tijjani Reijnders and Brahim Diaz, both former AC Milan players. The Dutchman, Bernardo Silva's teammate at Manchester City this season, has played less than expected under Pep Guardiola.'

Juve senza Champions? Bernardo Silva va all'Atletico. E Spalletti in alternativa vuole due ex milanisti...

Il trequartista portoghese in scadenza col City non aspetta i bianconeri e va da Simeone. Le piste alternative portano a Manchester e Madrid

Given the tight spaces and tight areas comment, I’d imagine Brahim Diaz is much more likely, especially as Real Madrid will want to welcome Endrick back from Lyon. Diaz is also entering the final year of his contract, so it would be a much easier deal to facilitate.
