No idea why people are discussing Modric here lol, here's what I'd try to do as management. We got the basis, just some key signings are needed to strengthen team.
Offload Mauri, Antonelli, Gomez, Vhergara, Storari and Kalinic (won't happen but one can dream) and loan locatelli
Get most definitely:
Reus (Puma) - LW > would raise our level so much, dude when healthy is a sick player.
Badelj - CM
Demirbay - CM >ready to leave in the summer and are proven players with experience both international and for country. would compliment Kessie and Biglia well.
De Vrij/Höwedes - CB > De Vrij because cheap/free and looking for a new challenge, proven. Höwedes is likely to return to schalke at the end of the loan but wonÄt find footing there since their defense is packed, world cup winner, proven defender and versatile.
Try to get (unlikely but still):
Max Meyer - young, experienced, proven, contract expiring
Balotelli - ST > has matured in france, good goalscorer and can create chances on his own, knows the league and club. and he'd be free
Malcom - LW/RW > confirmed to leave this summer, looking for new challenge. fast pacey winger is what we lack and very good in 1v1 situations.
Break the bank for/dream signing of summer:
SMS. > absolute tank, he and kessie in midfield would destroy Serie A. No explanation needed.
We really need a backup LB, 2 CMs and 1 LW. St is not necessarily needed since Silva deserves second chance, cutrone may explode next season and kalinic is a proven backup.
