If an offer of 30+ million is tabled, watch all common sense go out the window. It is difficult to be balanced and objective regarding a player some members seem to believe is a gift and a blessing, when he is just a good and reliable servant to the club. He isn't even one of the top 100 talents Juventus have had throughout our illustrious history. All this hogwash about being home grown and coming up through the youth system means jackshit if we get an offer that would be incredibly difficult to refuse (especially if the alternative involves losing one of Vidal or Pogba).
Oh, and what evidence and common sense are you speaking of here?! We sold arguably the greatest Italian player of all time when he still had more to give, and more recently released our iconic captain and club legend, so there is nothing to suggest the same can't happen with a far inferior player in Marchisio.

Which is an unlikely scenario. I replied in regards to the most likely scenario.
That's not my opinion, but it's impossible to disregard a player like Marchisio's ties to the club and fans no matter how light you make of it. He may not be a Giggs or Scholes equivalent for Juventus, but he's worth more to us than he is elsewhere. So our valuation is not going to be the same as any player. We can put it into cold numbers, but that's easy to say observing from a distance.
Ironically given a better role at another big club I think he'd do better than he is in the role he has here.
What evidence? That's he's been here since he was a child, that he is a first choice player here and for the national team, that's he's always said he wants to stay here for life, that the club has said repeatedly he is not for sale. What a daft question.
The Baggio reference again
You can put Baggio alongside someone like Ibrahimovic, not Marchisio.

@JuveJay In regards to the evidence part, I was asking for past evidence pertaining to players in a similar situation
I do agree that the most likely scenario is Marchisio staying (because we are unlikely to get a good enough offer for him), but one can always hope there is a club out there "daft" enough to part with 30-35 million for him
