If he's on the market we'd be stupid not to jump on the opportunity to get him back as a relatively short-term solution while upgrading other areas as well. He'd instantly become our best midfielder again.

Who are you suggesting? We aren't paying scrubs like Rabiot, Ramsey, and Khedira much less than what Vidal is earning. And besides, he is going to have to take a cut at his next club anyway. He is the only player in that price range that would instantly improve our starting 11 and it would give us the opportunity to focus on other areas of the pitch as well rather than spending our entire budget on a midfielder. This team needs a massive overhaul because we have been neglecting it for the past 2 years, starting with a new RB, a back-up LB, a striker and a couple of midfielders.
Firstly barca are in no hurry to sell him, in fact he's playing more under setien now. Secondly adding vidal adds further burden to our wage bill which is already high, its a very short sighted move and not worth it imo even if I love the guy, I'd sooner see that money invested into someone for the future
This was assuming that Vidal was on the market. I see your point but i just think we disagree on what this team currently needs. I don't think we are in a position financially to spend big money on a player that will only start contributing in a few years, and besides, we already spent 40m on Kulu in the winter (which i am not sure was the best move at the time, but that's another discussion). This team has just too many holes to make more of those types of acquisitions.
Why is our greatest midfielder of all times in rookie section?
Juve's biggest mistake in recent times is selling this man.

Come on Bro. Get a clue. I love Vidal, but lay down the pipe.
Selling him was definitely a mistake, but an even bigger mistake was never adequately replacing him.
Why? He's already 33.
At this point, we can't be signing players like this in the faint hope that we get a CL Trophy while Ronaldo is still here. That whole thing was a big 1 year gamble, and it didn't pay off. If our moves are anything to go by, we are working on the next chapter of this club, and getting much younger, with Dybala FINALLY being the centerpiece that he should have been for the past 3 years
Agreed, it's also not in Paratici's remit to sign old players as he'll want to use this window to rejuvenate the side, Kulusevski and Arthur proving that, on top of Demiral and De Ligt last summer.
Besides Paratici already declined Rakitic and Vidal for those reasons already explained, quite rightly so, we don't want more 'khedira' cases
