Club Brugge: A-
AC Milan: B+

Jashari shone for Club Brugge in the Champions League last season, often feeling like the heartbeat of a midfield that stood up to some incredibly strong tests.

In that situation, a proven, Premier League-quality, experienced head and good all-rounder like Nørgaard seems a smart pickup.

The fee may rise to £15m with add-ons, but that still feels like a rough deal for Brentford, who just lost their captain and heartbeat.

Barcelona: B+
AS Monaco: C+

Fati once stood where Lamine Yamal now stands -- with the world at his feet -- but injuries have derailed what was supposed to be a fast track to stardom and he has managed just 747 league minutes across the past two seasons.

Spurs are smart to try to tap into that potential for a more reasonable fee, while Die Rekordmeister have somehow made a profit on a player they didn't really improve along the way.
