So, getting a high profile dynamic/physical box to box CM who can offer technique while still play DM when Marchisio is out would be a nearly perfect replacement of Pogba.
There's still 1% of chance Pogba doesn't leave - that's if they can't agree on Raiola's fee. But I'm sure they will come to terms, one way or the other.
Also, I really don't think Zaza and Mandzukic can coexist with Higuain. One between them will leave for stg aroung 25M.
About the mid, I really want to keep Pereyra and Lemina.
So, considering Pogba wants to leave and Marotta doesn't consider his mindset well enough to remain, my perfect rest of mercato would be:
- Higuain in 90M
- Rakitic in 45M
- Bazoer in 35M
- Pjanic in 30M
- Pjaca in 23M
- Gabigol in 20M
- Lemina in 10M
- Benatia in 3M
- Alves in 0
total spent: 255M
- Pogba out 120M
- Morata out 30M
- Mandzukic/Zaza out 25M
- Sturaro out 15M
- Hernanes out 5M
- Asamoah out 10M
Total income: 205M
Total net spent: 50M (our average past years)
25 players squad:
GKs: Buffon, Neto(or Italian GK), homegrown GK
CBs: Bonucci, Chiellini, Barzagli, Benatia, Rugani
RBs: Alves, Licht
LBs: Sandro, Evra
DMs: Marchisio, Mandragora/Marrone
CMs: Pjanic, Rakitic, Khedira, Bazoer, Lemina, Pereyra
Fws: Dybala, Higuain, Pjaca, Mandzukic/Zaza, Gabigol
That would be a tremendous team. Starting CMs would be Pjanic/Rakitic.
