Calafiori goes to Arsenal Hincapie J.Hato Unfortunately all these players practically never played as a LV but only as a IV: Pacho Inacio Murillo Branthwaite Lukeba Bastoni (too expensive) Schlotterbeck (not so great) Botman (injured) Buongiorno (goes to Napoli) Hancko (goes to Atletico) Kilman (goes to West Ham)
