Be7 I would think, which probably threatens Nxe4.

Nxe4 Bxe7 Nxc3 Bxd8 Nxd1.

Rb8     if b3...Bb4    Qd2...Qa5

 Rb8    if  Rb1...Bb4 intending Qa5

Rb8      if Qc1...Bb4

 

 the reason white doesnt play Nxc6 in these openings is because of blacks counterplay on the b-file then white playing Bg5? further abandended the dark squares on the queen side so Rb8 and Bb4 are easy follow ups why delay black is a little better in all lines
