Malinovskyi could potentially be bought for 30mil according to an article on Football-Italia (citing Gazzetta dello Sport). If this is true, get this guy. What a beast of a player. Doesn't lose the ball, ever. Moves it well, assists, AND his shots are bullets. Him, along with Kessie and Bennacer will complete our midfield. I'd rather Malinovskyi then Szoboszlai for the same price...although I think all 4 (Kessie, Benna, Ruslan + Szobo) can play together and compliment each other behind 2 CFs/STs.

BUT, i know, i know....we've been burnt by Atalanta players a few times. Even though Kessie is now starting to live up to expectations. If he continues this way, i'll be the first to say I was very wrong about him.

I am bit a more concerned about our next CF after Ibra

I think Nahuel Bustos would be the deputy to the outgoing Ibra, he is very much similar to Lautoro Martinez and he is valued around 15M by Talleres, we can reduce his price by adding Musacchio in the deal.
Another guy which I like is Sampdoria's Bonazzoli, he is the rising star of Sampdoria, scored some absolutely beautiful goals in recent weeks which reminds of Ibra, checking on Wikipedia I found he was actually known as Italian Ibra during his youth days at Inter. 

Regarding Malinovskyi, it would be a very difficult deal for us as many Premier league beggars are already lurking around and Atalanta is going to UCL again next season so again difficult for us to snatch players from UCL clubs and rumours are there that Hakan is going nowhere this summer.

Our lineup should be-
--------------Rebic------------Bustos--------------
-----------------------Hakan-------------------------
-----Szoboslai--------Benna----------Kessie------
----Theo------Roma------R. Koch----(       )-----
----------------------Donna--------------------------

I don't know who would be our RB.

[nefremo]

I don't know anything about Bustos, so can't comment. But I'm always for signing high rated South American talents for reasonable prices. 15mil at this day and age for a highly rated striker from South America is a good deal. It's when the numbers start getting insanely high when I'm timid.

About Hakan...he cab stay if he wants to, but we can't just erase 3 years of shit-to-average and inconsistent performances because he's performing decently well the last month. And even in this last month...he still doesn't take control of matches as a great player in his position should. So as I said, he can stay, but I wouldn't put all my eggs in that 1 basket. We need to up the quality in that area of the field. Worst case scenario (but not really, as it's actually best case scenario in most top clubs) we end up with 2 great AMs and they can battle it out for a spot or even find a way to play together.

About that lineup you posted....it's realistic. But I don't think it's good enough. We badly need a 1v1 player in the attacking third. I think that line up will provide a season like we saw last year, where we would be in the mix for 4th....but may or may not be there at the end. I want a line up good enough to challenge for the Scudetto...that way CL is not even a question. I know there are never guarantees and anything can happen. But not sure that line up puts us in the best possible seat to achieve what I said. Also, seeing as what the Bennacer-Kessie duo is capable together, no way would i move Kessie back to a RCM position. He was awful there, and despite everyone here and on other forums saying that this guy can not play there....coaches still forced him there. It's simply incredible that it took ALLLL this time for a coach to finally get the best out of Kessie. Just goes on to show how stubborn coaches really are. So I wouldn't go back to that now. Otgereise we might as well just sell him. 2.5 years was long enough for us to realize he can't play there.

I think instead of Bustos (who i'm not saying not to sign...but maybe not necessarily be a starter right away) someone like Neres (or a different speedy dribbler) would be great. And instead of Hakan (or maybe together with Hakan) someone like Depay would do wonders.
But more so than anything else...that RB position will be important. Having another Theo on that side will chabge the whole complexion of the team.
