Illaramendi would be great, but first we need to get rid of a few players in there. (I sound like Galliani now)
Anyway, Illara will be very expensive and we won't ever be ale to take up the buy-out clause even if we do get one. It's probably going to be over €20mil. He's also not the type of player we need in our midfield. I feel like we would be getting him just because of his apparent availability and not because of the true need of our squad.
Like I said, we should be looking at Clasie. Doesn't play for Real so he won't be overpriced like hell. He possesses more vision then Illaramendi and is better in the attacking phases for sure. He's got better ability to pick out quick vertical passes through the channels which is exactly what we need. Probably cost between 10 and 15mil and depending on his contract situation maybe even less.
