watch him, he is the real deal
I dread if we miss out on him, he has won me over 100%
other LB options are dicey, to a point
I like Alex Telles, but many here are sceptical as he is soon 27 and never been on a big team (Porto are oki) other than a failed loan at Inter
Gaya has a 100m euro release clause and Valencia will not give in for less than 85-90m or so (if then)
I am not sold on Gimaldo (I find it ironic that some who say meh on Telles due to Liga NOS are all in on Grimaldo, who is very short)
Bayern will not sell Alaba, and next summer is the last go-round in my book for him due to his age (he is almost the exact same age as I am, 27, turns 28 in the summer) and if we did buy him in summer 2021, that means only one sub 30yo year, and past 30yo, 95% of fullbacks go to shit quickly
Alex Sandro turns 30 in middle of the next season, so he is off the board,
same for Faouzi Ghoulam (almost exact same age as Alex Sandro and never has been a WC player anyway)
Sergio Reguilón is interesting, but no way will Real Madrid cough him up, as they will dump Marcelo in the summer, and need backup for Ferland Mendy (who would have been a great buy, but..bans)
Junior Firpo, my number choice last year, got grabbed by Barca for a ridiculously low £17m due to contract wind down (ban fuck again)
most of the rest are not available or are meh, other than.....
there is one new option who REALLY intrigues me
Malang Sarr, 20yo, FOUR year starter already (as a CB) on OGC Nice , great size (1.82cm) athleticism, left footed, and has been switched to LB
