There's a difference, we already own them. If Demiral has reoccurring problems or has lost it (hopefully not), we'll have to part ways since its not sustainable. For de Ligt its not as bad as having a problem to his leg
Besides going for increased risk is not a good idea when you have the choice. What good is it to have squad prone to injuries.

Again, you're saying Zaniolo is prone to injuries when he had 1 injury...?
Anyways, I guess there are many guys with better medical knowledge than my 8 year college studies...

Of the 684 players from the Swedish National Knee Ligament Registry that participated in the study 51% returned to football, 32% to the same or higher level and 18% to a lower level than before the injury. For the 49% that did not return to football 32% did so primarily due to reasons related to the operated knee and the remaining 17% quit primarily for reasons unrelated to the knee injury. The most common knee-related reasons for not returning were pain and/or instability (16%), followed by fear of reinjury (10%).
Of the players who returned to football, 28.7% (odds ratio [OR] 2.3, p < .001) reported that they had additional ACL injury, 9.7% (OR 2.9, p < .001) had a graft failure and 20.6% (OR 2.1, p < .001) had a contralateral ACL injury.
