He has no other option unless he stays at Leeds. Arsenal can't afford him and Barcelona are in the shitter.
Tie him to a long term deal too so Barcelona aren't sniffing around later.
I don't expect it right away but I wouldn't be surprised to see Tuchel transition to it.
There is virtually no way Sterling, Raphinha, and Mount are not on the pitch together for the majority of our fixtures.
No one is asking Mount to be our #6. Having Sterling and Raphinha in attack would put Mount back to his natural position as the advanced midfielder in a midfield 3.
This would allow Chalobah + Colwill to rotate with Silva, not to mention we will have TWO deadly flanks with James + Raphinha and Chilwell + Sterling.

Honestly it's become rather pathetic and tedious how one day it looks as if we are close to securing a signing, when only the next day we see reports that completely contradict the initial one and that we haven't even fucking approached the player yet.
Fully expecting tomorrow there to be reports that we never actually made a bid for Sterling yet.
Lot of reports suggesting we may sign both Sterling and de Ligt this week.
The Athletic claiming the Sterling deal is done and we are apparently 10m away or so from meeting Juve's valuation on de Ligt.
There isn't anything concrete linking us to Richarlison though. Only Spurs. Which makes me think they are leaking info to edge Spurs into signing him.
Dembele can fuck off at this point. Give me Sterling + Broja.
Attila Szalai.
No idea why we lost interest (could be former regime) as I've seen him a few times when we've been linked, this latest against England, and he is a rock.
He and de Ligt would be wonderful.
Would really like Rabiot as a backup to Jorginho. £15m being touted. Jorginho worth keeping just because Italy are not in the World Cup.
Focus next summer on replacing him with Rice or whoever Tuchel/Boehly identify.
