14m for a starting defender is proof that we don’t need to spend big for quality defenders. With the way modern football is played and with VAR, I’m fine with paying fair value for above average defenders and not buying top players for defense.

the biggest upside with him is that he is actually good with his feet too. Sum around 20m can get u an average defender, but they are usually shit with the ball, he is better than that. Plus he is definitely above average ofc.
Not to mention he can actually cover RB too if needed.

He offers versatility, capable of playing both center-back and right-back. I actually think he’d excel as a right-back—one of the best defensively in that position. He has the pace to overlap and delivers quality crosses too.

He played as RB yesterday and was one of the weak links for France in the game vs Spain, looked rather clumsy and Nico Williams skinned him a couple of times, then grown a bit in the game and had an overall ‘okaish’ game even if still inconsistent, ultimately got subbed out in the 60th min or so after France already conceded 4goals(from total of 5)with him on the pitch, but i’d also say that the whole french team looked pathetic for most parts, specifically when defending so that might’ve impacted him too.

Apparently this was also his official debut as starter for France national team, maybe the pressure got to him.
