I don't know when his contracts but seeing only Milan might put interest on him, we could bring him for cheap like 15 mil or max 20 mil euros. The problem I do think is his wage. I am not sure if he will accept wage around 2 mil euros.
I heard we could likely get him for 20m in which case i would take him... IF he dropped his wage significantly.

Unless 1 of Samu/Saele leaves, we're not getting a right sided player. By adding Depay, we are solving all the issues with just 1 purchase. Depay can play with Ibra and he can play instead of Ibra (since Ibra drops deep and acts as a false 9/AM many times). Depay can also play on the left (not as a winger, but as a left sided CF/AM/SS) and this allows us to use Rebic/Leao on the right side. He can even slot in for Hakan (less of a midfielder compared to Hakan, but more of a SS).
So yea....1 player. I'd go for that option and use the rest of the funds for a RB and CM options.
Depay would be an amazing pickup. Especially for the rumoured 20-25m.

Milan had already asked for Jovic on loan in January, now he seems close to Monaco. However, the Rossoneri remain interested and have the right card: Rafael Leao, who seems to attract Real Madrid's interest. (Mediaset)
Milan could enter negotiations with Sassuolo over Boga. Sassuolo values him around 35M€. Milan will try to lower the cash figure by inserting some technical counterparts like Tommaso Pobega. Sassuolo has been monitoring Pobega lately. (SerieBnews)
Wigan's Antonee Robinson is available for a fee of around €3M. (Tuttosport)
Atalanta values Pessina at €20M. Maldini values him at €12M so he'd like to sign him for €6M. There is an important gap between both valuations and an agreement would be hard to reach. Pessina gives priority to AC Milan. (GDS)
Thank God!
I wouldn't swap the two unless they gave us the right $$ Plus Jovic on loan with a cheap option.
Wouldn't pay 35 for Boga. Not sure I'd pay 25. The only Sassuolo player I'd take at the moment is Berardi.
3m for a young backup is cheap..
10m for a player who will likely sit on the bench because he's not good enough? Better to Keep Krunic instead and pocket 50% of the fee we get if Pessina is sold.

I remember converstions last year where we were saying it would be great to upgrade the LB, but not a total necessity since we had RR (who improved under Rino actually).
Anyway, I think we need 2 starters. RB and RW/RF. The rest of the transfers should be to bolster the squad quality in general. I don't think this is impossible to do with 80-100mil. If we are limited, I would actually use that money for those 2 players, while getting the "bridge" players you mentioned to add quality in the rotation. As an example, I'd rather get a quality starting RB, and get a "bridge" player as backup to Kessie/Theo/etc. I would not get "bridge" players to be starters.
There's no reason why we couldn't do this with 80-100m. Just means we can't do stupid things like spend top $$ on maybe players just because they're young
