I see Bentancur as a young Khedira. Does the little things well, great poise, highly intelligent, plays simple, can go forward to sneak some goals (though he hasn't shown much willingness to do so). He isn't going to break a game open by making opportunities or scoring goals out of nothing. When Khedira was playing his role to perfection, he was an integral part of the midfield. So in my eyes Bentancur as his successor is indispensable (plus he has a lot more potential to fulfill given his age).
Matuidi seems like the obvious omission but he brings something unique of his own - that huge amount of energy and relentless pressure which (as I keep alluding to) is what we were fortunate to have with Vidal and desperately need. We need to replace him with Ndombele who brings that same kind of dynamism but with amazing skill to boot. SMS, potential world class though he is, won't bring that energy and athleticism which is sorely needed. Rabiot is more in the SMS caste minus the eye for goal.
Can is our poor mans Mascherano and I would like to see if Sarri could manage to play him in Pjanic's role but it's doubtful considering his penchant for Jorginho in that position for whom Pjanic is a like for like.
Matuidi for Ndombele would best round out our midfield. Fat chance though from what I'm reading.

Omfg is it actually happening?!
Juventus expect Matthijs de Ligt is going to sign for them. The 19-year-old will sign a five-year deal worth €15-20 million a year. Ajax earn €70 million.

Yup, according to Hanko above and a guy from Netherlands (supporter) he is the number 1 journalist. De Telegraaf the most reliable Ajax source, almost like our Agresti.
I could really see it happening! He want playtime.

DI MARZIO TOOO! ITS OVER!
Strong move from Juventus for De Ligt in the last minutes following the failure of Barcelona and PSG to close a deal for him. [Di Marzio]

#PSG tried everything in the last weeks to convince him & his girlfriend. His girlfriend was talking around in Paris to see the most beautiful apartments with her mother.

It looked like #DeLigt was of to #Psg for sure. But very good sources told us that #Juventus took the lead in the race to sign him.
