My ideal line up if the rumours are true

Starting XI

Mbappé & Diomandé – Inverted wingers who constantly cut inside to attack. Their pace stretches the defence and creates goalscoring chances.
Bellingham – False 9. Drops deep to link play, pulls centre-backs out of position and makes late runs into the box. Perfect for creating space for the wingers.
Valverde – Box-to-box midfielder. Helps defensively, supports the attack and keeps the midfield balanced.
Rodri – Deep-lying playmaker. Controls the tempo, keeps possession and starts attacks with his passing.
Tchouaméni – The anchor. Helps the defense, wins balls and allows the more attacking players to push forward.
Cucurella – Fullback. Provides width when needed but mainly focuses on defensive stability.
Huijsen – Ball-playing centre-back. Comfortable carrying the ball out from the back and breaking lines with his passing.
Konaté – Physical stopper. Dominates duels, covers in behind with his pace and brings aggression to the back line.
Trent – Attacking right-back. Gives the team width, creates chances with his passing and crossing, and can drift into midfield during build-up.
