Shit what a surprise. Alves and Mascherano?
It doesn't really make sense, considering the astronomic wages of these guys.
Even if we get Alves for free, to keep his demands he'd immediately be the highest earning guy on the team. This could unsettle the squad and Marotta is very aware of this.
I mean, Alves is the same guy who stalled negotiations with Barcelona because of money. I think him and Masc should make something like at least 6/7M net, which is more than Pogba makes. It's just weird to think Alves would give up a contract year in Barcelona to make less. Doesn't make any sense.

About the player, he had a spectacular career and is an amazing player, clearly one of the best all times RB.
However he can be very inconsistent, and can have some horrible stages where he miss everything. He must be very driven to join us.
He's recently completed 33 yrs. His game is very physical (he's one of the quickest and with most stamina players I've ever seen, it's just insane. It's just not Barca's doping, I remember noticing this when he was playing for Brazil U20 13 years ago. Absolute beast).
But he should be about to drop off physically at this stage. Still a very good bet, but not for more than 2 guaranteed years + 1 optional extra year.

He'll settle at juve for less cause our top earners earn less
