A great MFer and is only 25yo, a close to perfect age for me (in terms of being a very experienced vet but not closing in on 30yo) but NOT BlueCo! Ffs, VITINHA is older than Tonali, would we say, OMG, he is too old!!! Here are the top DMFs and CMFs in the world, just to show where he fits in (he can play either one to a uper high level) The ones older than Tonali are in italics. Many of the ones younger than him are only 1 or so years younger than him as well. In order of valuation (I personally would take Caicedo over any of them, even Pedri) and also, every single CMF or DMF valued over €40m is listed here: Pedri Federico Valverde Declan Rice Moisés Caicedo João Neves Vitinha Ryan Gravenberch Enzo Fernández Alexis Mac Allister Bruno Guimarães Sandro Tonali Martín Zubimendi Rodri Aurélien Tchouaméni Aleksandar Pavlovic Tijjani Reijnders Adam Wharton Elliot Anderson Nicolò Barella Carlos Baleba Pablo Barrios Warren Zaïre-Emery Eduardo Camavinga Manu Koné Morten Hjulmand Felix Nmecha Scott McTominay Frenkie de Jong Nico González Angelo Stiller Amadou Onana I’d take Tonali here in an instant as would every big PL club. I just cannot ever see us spending mega money like that again on a single player. Especially not in midfield after we already bought 2 £100m guys. Do I think BlueCo would sanction a midfielder for £50-70m? Probably. But never £100m again. Not with Andrey Santos gaining in stature.

I thik the only ones on that list we would MAYBE make a move for would be Sandro Tonali (I think he would cost £60 to 70m) Adam Wharton Elliot Anderson Felix Nmecha (maybe) after that, going down in age I see us sniffing around (remember these are all CMFs or DMFs) Valentín Barco (already a BlueCo player) plus Ayyoub Bouaddi Senny Mayulu (TOUGH PULL, as it is PSG) Johan Manzambi Victor Froholdt Jobe Bellingham Noah Sadiki Marc Casadó (Barca DMF) Kees Smit Nathan De Cat plus Kennet Eichhorn (summer 2027, as he is too young to move until then) Bayern want him SO badly, so probably not going to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be an incredibly easy move to do I would assume. Of course the wildcard situation is if Enzo continues this form the rest of the season and we miss out on UCL he could ask to go to Madrid. That’s the only scenario in which I could imagine us spending gigantic money again to replace him. I could see us going for Tonali then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that you are inhabiting a sound logic area of thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
