Some supporters are very excited by the prospect of adding to the squad – by poaching talents from either Benfica or Lyon – with many desperate for the club to make a move for Alejandro Grimaldo.
YES please, give me Grimaldo and Ferro

Most of these would be fairly cheap as well, especially from Benfica as they always need to sell

Other fans, though are leaning more towards some of the talents at Lyon, most notably, Houssem Aouar, who used to partner with Tanguy Ndombele for the Ligue 1 side.
