Manchester City have kicked off their summer overhaul by signing Bernardo Silva from Monaco.
City released three full-backs and a goalkeeper on Thursday and are perhaps best equipped in the attacking midfield positions, but Silva seems set to be confirmed as their first signing of the summer.
Man City on verge of Silva signing
And despite a need for defenders and a deeper-lying midfielder, the signing of Silva does make sense on a number of levels.
As well as stopping their major rivals - such as United and Barcelona - from signing one of Europe's top talents, City will have also secured somebody who could be the long-term replacement for David Silva.
And positionally the Portuguese playmaker will provide several options for City boss Pep Guardiola, who has too often looked to his bench this season and seen nobody capable of changing a game.
This is how Silva would fit in at City and how his arrival affects his soon-to-be new team-mates.
