    Matthijs de Ligt - CB - Ajax

    Lol at or Rugani. Yeah, keep 32 yo error prone Mr 50-50 and pay him 6m or whatever high salary we're paying him for bench (and as if he himself would be ok with it esp given his past) instead of 24/25 yo club homegrown Rugani. 1556043674 Good point. But I also don't see Bonucci accepting...

    Matthijs de Ligt - CB - Ajax

    He's too good to ride the bench. Should be an automatic starter next to Chiellini. That bit was already clear after watching first leg. Bonucci would be sold. He'd improve more at Juve, that'd be the smarter decision for him, but it's best to forget about him now unless there's a drastic change...

    You do know Milan paid 18m loan fee, right?

    Matthijs de Ligt - CB - Ajax

    They desperately need a midfielder who can defend. They would finally have one in de Jong. Tuchel has been playing an extra CB and/or Marquinhos in midfield to counter that. Ridic team building year after year that keeps exposing their defense. They should get a CDM too on top of de Jong.

    Makes sense too. He loves tiki taka and attacking footy. Not much space at Barca, would have to play Fernandinho's role at City.
