just checked the ratings and was kinda surprised. there are some positive signs like the lower wage bill or keeping miretti but the overall strength of the team didn't change too much. di maria replaces dybala, neither of them are much better than the other. di maria fits 4-3-3 better, dybala could potentially create more. bremer replaces de ligt, not a clear downgrade, certainly not a huge upgrade. two physical beasts with some hardwired clumsiness. pogba replaces ramsey, oh well, similar salary with similar availability, what an upgrade lol. we lost chiellini, oldies got older, rabiot is still just as motivated as he was, etc. kostic is the only player who is potentially an upgrade but we'd need an actual attacking system to explore his potential.
4.5 mercato at best in my book
