Nobody is asking for big names. I don't think anyone here thinks that this club can actually afford it.
What we are asking for though, at least I am, is a foundation not just for this year, but for the next 4-5 years, and I frankly do NOT see the likes of De Paul and Gosens as being those types of players. They are already entering their peak years, and with those values of 35 million, what we see now is more than likely what we are going to get 2-3 years from now.
Partey is an exception at his age (27) because he is just a beast in midfield. these other names? No thank you. we were off to such a good start with Kulusevski and Arthur.

Knew the post was gonna up your bloodpressure the second i saw it.
I'd put Dybala in the center (Ronaldo hates playing in the middle - he himself said that), and replace Costa with Kulu on the right, seeing as Costa is barely ever fit and won't give us more than 15-20 games a season, if that. I'd also push for Zaniolo, but that might have to wait until next summer. Otherwise, I like that formation, with possibly Bentancur coming in for one of Arthur or Rabiot.
Fagioli and Hans Gruber in the first team

I think we can get Pogba next summer, if we really want him. No rush tbh. Pogba and Zaniolo in the summer of 2021 for one last push to win the CL with Ronaldo. Yes, I'm a hopeless romantic I suppose
In other news, and this will sadden you deeply, Boga is edging closer to Nipples

8/10 mercato, provided we keep all our assets and dispose of the deadwood. Zaniolo in 2021?
We should also get one more midfielder - De Paul or that Hungarian kid who's probably going to cost 60+ million in a couple of seasons

For technical reasons, I'd like us to keep Alex Sandro. For financial reasons (he's 29, last chance to cash in with still good market value, not a must have level performer), I can see club maybe selling him and I wouldn't be opposed to it with the right reinforcement(s).
With Gosens (we do lack his speed, stamina, directness), you also need to sign a decent enough backup as insurance. With Reguillon, if he's good as everyone says he is, then not as important.

What's the price?

Currently no active links with Malen who seems quite talented but is coming off a serious injury. A few days ago we were linked with 3 AZ Alkmaar players (Wijndal, Boadu and Koopmeiners). Boadu and Wijndal have Raiola as their agent so there's a chance considering we'd like to do business with him. Boadu is currently one of the best Dutch strikers but really hard to rate players outside of Ajax considering league games are quite open and the likes of Boadu and Malen don't often face packed defences.
Currently Eredivisie is really packed with great talents all over, just to name a few Mo Ihattaren, Calvin Stengs, Lisandro Martinez, David Neres and Marcos Senesi
