With Banega certain to leave and Mudo likely to leave we need to rebuild the midfield. Only Jordan and Torres have a long term future there, Gudelj can put in a shift but I don’t trust him as a long term starter and Fernando is a warrior but nearing 33.
No real rumors here but Yangel Herrera has caught my eye at Granada, gave 2 assists last night versus Osasuna. He is comfortable playing in a double pivot, can do a bit of everything and at 22 still has room to grow. He is on loan from Man City and no offense to his talents but would find it hard to see the pitch into a squad which has Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Gundogan and KDB. If the club put in a decent amount Man C may let him go.
