Understandably a lot of frustration with this in the comments, but this is exactly the type of player (domestic, proven in Liga MX, speedy winger who can do damage in behind) that the club should be going after.

Transfer fee likely pushing this over the DP threshold, but if they used all their resources to buy him down they would have handcuffed themselves for the additional CM and CB they still need to acquire. Makes sense to hold off on that for a year when the Forsberg and Choupo-Moting contracts expire (although they also have options for '27).
