That he would. But this is one of those rare occasions where I think we have to be brave and go for it if he really is available. We might not gonna get another chance like this in the next decade. New sponsor money will be coming in next year too and we have players to shift in the summer. We can afford an arm and a leg. You have to think we're positioned fairly well too. Sven was the one who brought him to Dortmund, Dembele knows Auba and Sokratis from his time there, and Rahul has plenty of contacts at Barcelona.
Most of the big clubs in Europe don't really need a super expensive winger right now either. Real Madrid are obviously out of the picture. PSG are so bloated that they can't sign anyone. Juventus just bought Ronaldo. Liverpool signed players for like £200 million in the summer, City just handed Sterling a new £300K per week contract. United must be very unattractive to any French player after the way they've ruined things for Martial. Arsenal, Bayern and maybe Chelsea are the only obvious destinations I can think of.
