I don't understand why a lot of people consider the price low . He is a great player who came after a not so good season , wanted to leave the club and is 28 years old . Which other midfielders have gone for prices considerably bigger than 40M ? Modric at the same age got sold for 40 mil , rakitic for 20 mil , kongdobia for 30 mil (but he is also an investment for the future) . Kroos 20 mil last year of contract so assuming that he has more than 1 year most probably his fee would have been in the 40 mil region . Martinez 40 mil at 24 years old . Fabregas 33 milion at 27 years old .
Seriously we got what his price was at the moment , at his top vidals price was in the 50 mil region , that would probably be second year of conte imho . With 2 years more a rising desire to leave and coming from a not so great season , 40 mil is the right price range imho .
