It is the same every time a manager changes club. The new club is then linked to multiple players from the previous one but they rarely are signed.
I believe our interest in Calafiori. He's young an Italian and our defence needs updating, probably with the club planning for after Bremer.
On Zirkzee and Ferguson. Both are crucial to Motta's system, which makes sense why we are linked. I'm not really sure we have comparable players, so if Motta was to come he will either need to adapt his tactics or we need to find him players who can fit his system (not necessarily those 2).
I would only take Calafiori, I'd be happy to sign him. I'd be curious as to whether we continue with a back 3 or not with Motta though.
Zirkzee is a fantastic talent but if we are keeping Vlahovic I don't see why we would get him, not only that but he isn't exactly a big goalscoring forward.
I think we need to sign a right back at least another mid (I don't particularly want Koop), hopefully Fagioli returns strong because I think he can be a starter. If Soule gets sold then I'd assume Motta would want to play a 4 3 3 so he'd be replaced by a midfielder. Huijsen would return and be the first back up to the centerbacks along with Gatti.
In an ideal world we play something like this
??? Bremer Calafiori Cambiaso
Locatelli Fagioli
Soule Yildiz Chiesa
Dusan
