Everything will be made around Lamine. And if Yamal's head doesn't go wandering off like Neymar did, it will be like this for a decade. Lamine is the one key player you can't find elsewhere. So, best plan is to try and see how much can we get from Raphinha. Can we get, 3 seasons, maybe 4? Go with that and try to sell in Arabia at 33-34. Best bet.
Lamine 1st, and Raphinha 2nd are the two impossible players to replace at the moment. Lamine is best on the ball player, and Raphinha is best off the ball attacker. We have some other top players beyond these two, Pedri, De Jong, even Olmo, but not at the level of those two.
Bayern have a good mix also that complement the team well, albeit of a lower level than Raphinha and Yamal, in Diaz and Olise. As do PSG with Doue and Kvaratshkelia.
There were team who managed to play 2 on the ball stars on each side, like Barcelona 2009 with Henry and Messi, and Barcelona 2015 with Neymar and Messi. However, one still had to see less much off the ball compared to Messi. And from interviews and such, neither Henry, nor Neymar were happy to be side acts.
