Marotta tinkering at the edges of an unrealistic 1st bid is hardly going to set the pulses racing in Gelsenkirchen.
Another €5m is needed if they want to bring this to closure.
You'd think we'd be able to sell someone to raise that extra 5 million.
If it were up to me, both Draxler and Gotze would be coming in and I'd be pursuing much more aggressively.
I would sell Caceres (5), Llorente (8), Coman (20).
We clearly have enough strikers, and Gotze can play as a secondary striker, and Draxler can play as an inside forward like Coman. There is nothing lost there.
As for Caceres, you already have a multiple CBs, but I would look to buy a low budget guy to fill in - a guy you can pay very little because when all the injuries are better, it is also a position of strength.
At CB you have Bonucci, Rugani, Barzagli and Chiellini. I am sure you can bring in a cheap player from a provincial team on loan to add extra insurance while the injuries are a problem.
At RB you have Lichtsteiner, Isla, and Andreas Tello.
As for Isla, I would totally keep him. He is younger than Licht and if given the opportunity, maybe he can replicate his Udinese form at Juventus.
