Yes, I heard that Cucurella is leaving. Maybe back to Spain?
I did read a little while back that Kounde was back on the table again. Therefore Cucurella to Barcelona to replace Alonso along with Aubameyang for Kounde might work. Kounde apparently can play either full back positions or CB.
I thought Kounde was upset at playing at RB rather than CB for Barcas and that was why he was upset with the Barcelona folks.
And Neymar.
Think it would actually be a good signing if we could make it happen, we're in desperate need for some experience in our team next season.
I think so. I get that we are signing a lot of young players on long term contracts and that is not a bad idea at all. But as it looks like we are losing our more experienced squad players like Kante and Kovacic and we have already lost the experience of Jorghino, it wouldn't be the worst idea to sign a player like Leandro. FREE transfer. World Cup winner. Plays alongside Enzo. He is ticking some boxes.
Pep did it when he first went City. Signed a load of young talent then scattered in experienced signings to compliment them. Then its just a process from there on out, the youth become the experienced after a few years and you replace the 'old' players with more youth. Rinse and repeat, City have done it almost perfectly over the last 7 years.
Marco Asensio and Manuel Ugarte are set to join Paris Saint-Germain after passing their medicals
I'd prefer Diogo Costa or Robert Sanchez as I think they are both better distributors but these are decent options as well.
Sanchez lost his place at Brighton and Costa is in my opinion inferior to both Onana and Maignan (although stats suggest otherwise, & i haven't watched Porto but watched AC Milan a lot)
