Marchisio doesn't even have to be at his best to be preferable to Matic. So many big performances from Claudio that Matic can only dream of right now, no idea why we'd invest heavily on someone supposedly in their prime and not performing anywhere near the level of a Champions League elite player.
Just got to hope there is a name out of left field for that position after seeing what players have been linked.
Neither Costa nor Bernardeschi are that, yet we signed both. Not even De Sciglio is on that level.
And it's actually BS that Marchisio is light years ahead of him. Marchisio had monster performances but that was long time ago. He was not even reliable last season.
Don't start with that how I don't rate Marchisio, please. Just search 90% of the lineups that people post here, they are all without Marchisio, some even placed Khedira ahead of him. It's like people forgot we have him.

Talks about De Vrij signing a new contract (again). He'd probably have 25mln release clause, so he'd possibly leave next season.
A lot of Emre Can links.
Milan wants Cuadrado but we don't want to sell.
It seems Schick is saying no to Inter and pushing a move towards Juve hoping Ferrero would accept our loan offer.
