Take this one with a pinch of salt for now, but there are rumours of us getting Hirving Lozano according to l'Oracolo twitter.
He's coming off the back of a phenomenal season at PSV (bear in mind the Dutch league isn't good quality these days) and had a great World Cup with Mexico. His agent is none other than Raiola, but the relationship changes with Mirabelli out and Leonardo was reportedly meeting him in the past week or two. Finally, he was previously linked to Arsenal and has a release clause of around 35m.
In terms of fit, if he comes he'd surely slot in on the left with Hakan either LCM or AM in 4-2-3-1. Lozano is very quick, direct, scores quite a lot and is 23. Simply put, on paper he brings a lot of the qualities we've lacked in the past season. I think with him and Bernard, we'll have a lot of depth and quality on the wings, with the line of 3 being Suso, Calhanoglu and Lozano with Halilovic, Bernard and Bonaventura as backup.
Gomez to Palmeiras is great, any ideas on money?
Finally, Atletico supposedly heading to Italy to discuss Kalinic. For the record and just as I'm having fun with the idea, I'm still convinced we'll see Pato in a Milan shirt again
Kalinic to Atleti, Silva seems out as his shirt was taken by Higuain and I can't imagine Bacca is staying. Therefore, we'll be left with Higuain and Cutrone, one spot frees up and so does the #7. 
(for the record I'm not particularly excited about the prospect of Pato returning, I'm not one that likes to look back and see returns for previous players, but I just think it makes a lot of sense).
It seems we could see this lineup next season if rumours are to be believed:
That's a good side, although a long way to go before we know about Rabiot and Lozano.
