Zakaria seems like a logical choice, and if we can't get Tchouameni, we should really go for Gravenberch - the kid is a baller with an expiring contract, and the further Ajax go in the competition, the more in demand he will become. Yes, I am aware the fat cunt is his agent, but perhaps we can secure an option on the kid for the summer of 2022 (offer Ajax 30 million since his contract expires in 2023).
One of Zakaria and Babacar (who can also be deployed as a CB), potentially on a free, is an opportunity we should not pass up on.
There are so many talents in Ligue 1, Portugal, and The Netherlands. Even if our scouts are too lazy to be doing their job and exploring the markets in South America and Eastern Europe, there is no excuse for going for the lazy option in Schnitzel.
