I'm not sure how much you rate him around here but I just read news that Kessie has been transfer listed by AC Milan. They're looking for anywhere between 35-40 million. Is he a Sarri type mid and would he represent a cheaper midfield option?
I always felt like we needed a bruiser on the squad ala Vidal.

How much is the valuation of Barella? 35-40mil? If we splurge our money on De Ligt, get freebie Rabiot and manage to street one of our useless mids (which means anyone but Pjanic) id be happy to sign him as our bruiser. Fairly good priced, young, Italian and has high potential. With Cagliari there is the possibility of cheapening the price too by including some youth players.
Kessie is as average as they come at the top level I never understood what anyone saw in him at Atalanta and he’s done as well as I expected at Milan which is be average. Not even close to what we need and far too average to start for us. I get the feeling if Rabiot comes there will be much disappointment here when nobody else is signed for midfield.... hopefully I’m wrong by it’s usually what we do
Kessie needs to improve in order be worthy of our rejection - This is how far he is from being worthy of Juve..
Even Kessie`s mother doesnt think he is anywhere good enough to be a Juventus player..

Barella is easily at 50M..
He is a good prospect and he convinces me in each day more and more but I rather save that 50M so we can launch a bid on a superstar - The one we need in order to be completely dominant than spend it on someone who might become WC in the future...
Maybe my way of thinking is wrong but maybe its not..
I think we first need to create a monster starting 11 and only then think of which talents to invest (unless we are talking about an exceptional talent such as D.Ligt..)

We can't be spending 100mil+ on two players. It's either De Ligt or Pogba/SMS, can't really be both without FFP knocking on our door (or heavy sales). That's the reason we are after Rabiot, we are obviously going heavy after De Ligt. I feel though that Barella has the qualities that we absolutely need, but is available for a better price than those heavy hitters. Another option is Torreira, who has clearly stated he hates it in England and wants a move back to Italy.
