Hopefully the deal with Atalanta includes a sale of Spinazzola for something above 10 million euros at least to offset their price inflation.

For the midfield we should also have a look at Monaco's Fabinho. He was converted to DM and is doing great.
Caldara would be great
Galiardini is talented so for the right price I would welcome him as well
Nzonzi if he can play as he does this season then its a no brainer..
Fabinho - I have a mixed feelings about him.. He is a good player no doubt about it + Monaco are doing very well in the CL. I dont see him that special but he can be one of those cases when you only realize his potential in a hindsight

Anyway I think we should wait until the summer regarding our next big purchase as right now Id say our attack needs some strengthening and our mid needs some strengthening... between the two departments our mid is way more crucial
Pjanic isnt playing bad but I do expect much more from him so we should think of an AM if he doesnt improve!

Nzonzi according to reports should be here next season so he could help Marchisio and Khedira with Pjanic behind the forwards
as for Khedira and Pjanic there are few options
Dream and non realistic scenario: Verratti and James
Realistic but wont happen - Tielemans - not exactly a starter right now (for us) but very talented...
Realistic and might happen - young player with talent but not a world class kind of player and not a future one..
Realistic and will probably happen - good player to complete our team but nothing really that can be seen as an obvious upgrade!

As for our attack I see nothing happening - Berardi might come although I see him staying in Sassuolo or maybe even going to Inter, Zaza will probably get another loan, Moises Kean will get the loan he should have got this year as he isnt really playing here...

20m for a young defender. Seems a bit much...
According to this season form its a good deal - very quality defender - even played well against us when his whole team didnt really play
 

Suns

Release clause?

Say we decide to go full time with the 4-3-1-2, would we need a trequartista or do we just keep Pjanic there?
Say James was available, do you guys honestly see us running Dybala, James and Pjanic together?

20m for a young defender. Seems a bit much...
Stones 56m
Otamendi 45m
Mangala 30m
Savic 25m

20m for a defender is a normal price nowadays btw. Barcelona bought Umtiti for 25m and Milan bought Romagnoli for 25m aswell.
It is a big amount of money, but good DEFENDERS (not people who acts like a defender *johnstones) cost money. Can someone mail Marotta and Paratici to hold an eye on Bastoni? 17 year old cb and played in the coppa few weeks ago, he did really well.
