Aouar and Zaniolo, with Locatelli as a rotation option would be ideal.
We get two young Italians, a budding French talent, reduce our average age and wage bill, and bring in hungry players for a stagnating ageing midfield.
Will not happen . Locatelli is not at all bad . Would do very well as DM. Aouar, Zaniolo and Kulusveski are to similar, offensive but lack defensive qualities. You can never play 433 with your midfield.

Bentancur is a ball winner.
Aouar is a box-to-box midfielder.
SMS and Pogba are both probably more attacking minded than Aouar lol
Sorry but here I do not agree with you at all Aouar lacks some defensive qualities . Pogba is much better defensively than him.
I like him a lot but not with Zaniolo and Kulusevski in the same 11. One is to much. Spending 40, 50 and 60 mil and 1 has to be on the bench.
Will not happen. We need a good and hard working CF, with Dybala and Ronaldo. and a good RB. Do we have the money for all this. I don"t think so.
I looks more and more that Arthur Melo is coming.

Concerning the question: Do you like Arthur? My answer is yes. He has great qualities as seen on the video. I saw him play a number of times with Gremio and Barca.
And yes there is still room for improvement. I gladly do the swap. Arthur- Bentancur- Aouar would be a young and great MF, for present and years to come.
