Aubmeyang I would be very surprised at being allowed to leave, what with 2/3 other key players on their way out the door. Higuain is a proven scorer but 29 years old, so not the longterm solution you are looking for and probably three times as much too. So anyone else is probably going to be a cheap or very expensive gamble.
I prefer young and cheap than 29 and cheap because at least the former has a chance of improving, moreover because he's done it at a young age he's less likely to be a one season wonder IMO.

Yes there's a shortage of quality out there unless you want to make a megabucks bid, however a 29 year old wouldn't be my choice regardless.
