Hakimi would cost at least 50-60M, so good luck with that. Even if we sell Dumfries we wont be able to get him... Perhaps a loan, but idk why would PSG want that. Even if he has underperformed for them, he's still their best option.

He also earns 8m net

If the possibility of a return of Hakimi comes up, it’s a no brainer obviously. But Cancelo and Mazraoui are probably available this summer. A lot of quality who can replace Dumfries. Let’s hope he can fulfill his Premier League dream this summer!

Chalobah is a beast.. not sure why you're laughing

Just because people here haven't seen him play doesn't make him shit.
I haven’t seen him play a lot.

Is he any good? And what makes him good?

He may appear good at some things, but he lacks the basics a defender needs, especially in this age.

He's possibly the best matchup for Lukaku when it comes to a high ball in the middle of the pitch. That says a lot.

He's not very well aware of his surroundings.

Being big and strong is a plus, but if you cannot use that properly it becomes a liability. If he arrives, let's just say that he's going to be an...interesting project. But he's by no means starting material.

Need Suning sell Inter first, then we can talk about Hakimi or Cancelo.

We even can't renew players at the moment. Let alone give 8m Wage to Hakimi.

Hakimi should be priority, alternatively Walker.

Do you remember Samuel?
He was in the same situation like Koulibaly. Grande at Roma, didn`t adapt at Real, came to us and the rest is history. He belongs to the Grande Inter.

Koulibaly could very well be the same. We are surprised hoe good are the grandpas in Simone`s system. And Koulibaly is not an oldie of 34 or 35 years old. He could have a few good years of high level under his belt. It could be one of the biggest surprise. Nothing is sure, but he check all the boxes.
