Given that Lichtsteiner (supposedly) has a release of 12m, how could he be off the market?
Surely it would just mean Juve would have to pay the release clause.
He signed a three year deal when he signed, I think, so that shouldn't be an issue.
Doesn't really matter as I wouldn't consider 8m + Storari unreasonable, I'd just value that deal at a bit more than 11m.
What's the problem with setting out with a tough negotiating position?
No harm in trying to get him cheap, even if he is willing to pay more for him if necessary.
