He's top class as a touchline winger when fit, Barca had been using him all wrong imo. Maybe Pintus could work his magic on him.
Not only that, but it’s just not his best position to boot. He needs playing time but you’re almost doing him a disservice if you’re anchoring him to the right wing and counting on consistent goal/assist contributions.
We definitely need more in attack. More goals, more danger from the right side. Carvajal is aging and we need to lower his workload there if no viable alternative is sought. We need more consistent quality on the right side to balance the attack. Someone who know how to work that side to the end line.
RB Leipzig FW Christopher Nkunku (Contract expires 2024) https://therealchamps.com/2022/05/21/players-real-madrid-target-mbappe-stay/amp/2/
How can anyone watch us this season and suggests we don’t need RW reinforcement lol, Rodrygo had about 2 goals in 50 La liga games playing there about until recently, and when he’s a starter he doesn’t do enough in that position for us to be comfortable going into next season with him there, he’s best either on the left or a super sub, with Mbappé not coming he can get minutes when Vini needs a rest on the left or our new RW needs to be rotated on the right. You’re pretty much banking on Benzema replicating his last season form which is far from guranteed. I’d be fine with either Gnabry or Nkunku, Dembulence isn’t going to us straight from Barca, he’s going to PSG.
I didn't watch Leipzig this year much but he seems to have dropped off. One of the Bundesliga posters would have to comment. He only has 2 years left on his contract. Can play on the right and in the middle so from a depth perspective he helps. Similarly to Valverde, he could play on the right but tuck into the midfield to help KCM. Would sort of free up Valverde to play more in the middle. He is a more natural winger than Valverde obvioulsy. Soler has one year left at Valencia but I consider him a worse player than Olmo. There is a rumour out there that Valencia offered Soler and Gaya to Madrid since they both have one year left on their deals and Valencia has financial issues. Barca apparently was going to offer less than 60 M euros for both and Valencia balked at the low ball offer. Valencia needs to sell 36 million euros worth of players by end of June to comply with La Liga's finance rules. Edit: The Valencia duo are not really appealling when you already have Ceballos and Fran Garcia lined up.
Zahavi is Alaba's agent so we already have experience dealing with him. I feel Nkunku will want to move this summer if RM is interested. Because same opportunity might not be there next summer for him as we are likely to sign an attacker this summer. If he's unwilling to renew, makes sense for RB to cash in now.
Given PSG's response to Barcelona trying to tempt away Marco Verratti, we cannot include buyout clauses anywhere close to market value for the foreseeable future
I’m not convinced you need another 70M back up striker. And I wouldn’t try to shoehorn players into that RW role.
40-50 mil and we get it done probably. (🌕) From what I’m hearing, I believe Serge Gnabry [linked with Real Madrid] will not extend his contract at FC Bayern. The only question remaining is whether he'll be sold this summer or leave on a free next year. @Plettigoal via @iMiaSanMia #Transfers 🇩🇪🚨— Madrid Universal (@MadridUniversal) May 23, 2022
Why can’t we play like this anymore? Super attacking formation with just one defence player. I know that this team didn’t won the CL, but that amazing lineup.
I think this team needs a RW when you realize that Valverde will start the UCL final at RW position. Rodrygo now is considered a Liga player and a Champions League supersub. Gnabry Rodrygo sharing the RW all year long would be perfect i think.
All the names thrown around for attack Gnabry sounds most exciting for me. But at what price? Anybody got any idea what kind of ask Bayern would have for him?
Gnabry is not a tiebreaker player like we need, he isn't a scorer like we want . Salah is the only guy who has the stats for a period of years to get to Mbappe shoes.
Gnabry scored 14 goals and gave 6 assists in 25 games this year in Bundesliga, 9 games from these 25 played as a sub. Scored 9 goals in the champions League Bayern won in 2020.
most of the years he scores like 10-12 goals in the league ..he is a decent player but not a player with stats we don't got now.
