Conclusion

Since an internal solution is impossible, a signing is inevitable. But Éric Abidal should have the foresight to sign a successor to Gerard Piqué by the end of the next summer transfer window. There are many good options, but Matthijs de Ligt seems to be the best among them.

Next. Paco Alcácer in brilliant goalscoring form at Dortmund. dark

If Abidal fails to sign the young Dutchman, there are other options too, like Panagiotis Retsos and Dayot Upamecano. But nevertheless, Matthijs de Ligt should be the priority of the club, considering his talent and potential.
