I wouldn't complain too much if we got Pepe. Honestly I feel that even at 34, he'll offer more guarantees than Musacchio. For the record, I'm not a fan, in fact I've never really liked him. However, there's simply no deying he's a been a top class defender for over a decade now. He's been excellent for Real over the years and was the cornerstone of the Portugal side that won Euro 2016. Even if he's a rough player and his antics are unpopular, he's no where near the card magnet that Sergio Ramos is and his record is actually better than Paletta's in terms of discipline. I'm not saying he's my first choice, but just that he's not a terrible option and could help the club similar to how Barzagli has worked out at Juve.
It's frustrating to read about Roma going after Boateng, especially because it's the same thing I said just the other day, there are opportunities as some of the top clubs are overstacked in CB. I specifically mentioned Bayern in the same post and in the past have actually mentioned Boateng by name lol. For me, he'd be a great signing, I don't think he's a brilliant defender, but overall he's got a great game that could really benefit us.
I think these guys would really help Romagnoli grow too, as he's proven so far that he's most comfortable alongside an experienced player (i.e. Alex last season and Paletta this).
