I don't want Bentancur, he's very overrated according to some Boca fans I know and I'm not exactly blown away from what I'm seeing. If he costs pennies and we can ship him off somewhere to develop then good, otherwise I have doubts if he's even gonna make it into a decent player. I'm glad we missed out Witsel too. So many scrubs in this midfield, thank god Hernanes is going out too. Beppe better clean off the rest of it like Sturaro and Rincon, only leaving Lemina out of the doubtful ones: hes the one with the biggest upside. That leaves us with Pjanic, Khedira, Lemina and Marchisio (possibly Mandragora too and Asabob). Then just splash the cash and put it all on a SINGLE world-class CM like Tolisso, Verratti, Vidal, Kante, Rakitic etc. and use the rest of the money on slight upgrades.
Out: Hernanes 10m, Sturaro 10m, Rincon (end of loan)
In: WC midfielder 30-90m, Berardi 25m, Kolasinac (free). Keep Benatia, we need some depth.
End mercato. Three players in, three players out. 5 great and 2 average back-ups midfielders fighting for 2-3 positions. Pjaca and Mandzu on the left, Cuadrado and Berardi on the right, with Higgy and Dybi playing most games in the middle. 4-3-3 if either one gets injured. Good or nah?
Also Clemenza and Kean deserve some first team minutes next season in the Coppa and against scrubs.
