The sales are necessary because both players are surplus to requirements, although Isla could prove to be useful. We absolutely need to dispose of Llorente, as we have Mandzukic, Dybala, Morata, Coman, and that oaf Zaza.
Sevilla still interested in Isla and Llorente. Emery likes both and there are talks ongoing. We want 10-12m for Llorente and Isla could be closed at 8m. The problem is Llorente's salary as well. He's on 4.5m now and they offer 3m.
These two sales could increase our budget for an AM but then who to buy? If Marotta isn't willing to increase his offer for Draxler then I guess the sales wouldn't be necessary unless we're after a CM yet.
First of all, we don't know whether there was any offer for Götze. Second of all, Marotta is right refusing to pay 30-40 mln for Draxler who played 8 competitive games last season. We should wait to the closing stage of mercato when most deals are being done and see if an opportunity arises. If not, stick to what we have.
