Not quite. A 10/10 mercato would be getting De Ligt, Pogba, and Mbappe while getting rid of Khedira, Matuidi, Higuain, not buying Icunti, and keeping all our star players.
If we get both De Ligt and Ndombele, our mercato is definitely a solid 8.5 (borderline 9).
Getting De Ligt should exclude Pogba, but I don't think Ndombele is out of the question. His pricetag is 1/2 of Pogba's and he won't command anywhere near the astronomical wages that Dabpro would.
Not quite, a 10/10 would be De Ligt, Pogba, Mbappe, Ndombele, Messi, Kante, Trezeguet, Del Piero and a time machine for the latter 2.
There's no pleasing some people...

On a serious note; if we could really make deals for De Ligt & Rabiot with Demiral, Romero, Ramsey & Traoré done. We're set for a huge summer.
We need to offload Khedira, Mandzukic, Higuain, Cuadrado and probably Matuidi & Cancelo as well.
And if that pans out reasonably, we could be looking at another star signing in midfield or attack... While the hole at RB would need filling but I'd be ok with a semi-Jabroni if we can do the rest of it.
