says who ? Am pretty sure not many "top" clubs in Europe would go for him specially not for his tag price (which is probably around 20 millions) add to that the age factor.He already failed in Madrid, barca don't need him. Chelsea, united, arsenal and perhaps City all don't really need him. Inter have enough attackers, milan have Robinho plus Ibra.
That leaves only Juve as a potential target for Cassano and perhaps the only top club in Europe that would consider buying him.
Diego probably knows that there is a stipulation in his deal for dzeko. I doubt we gave them that deal without a first choice on Dzeko clause or some form of agreement. Sounds pretty spot on that we give them Diego and at a good price and have a clause about a player we have been oppen about wanting to sign.
There's a flipside to that coin, you know.
Next season we will still be paying for Diego's purchase. Same for Melo & (some?) of the guys who arrived this season.
Basically, spreading out the payments over 3 years changes nothing to your transfer budget, especially since this is something we have been doing for many years.

But that doesn't change anything, does it?
We usually spread our payments over 3 years anyway.
Next year we still need to pay Melo (>8 million €, I believe), Storari (1,5m €), Diego (5m €), Bonucci (5m €), ...
That money has got to come from somewhere.
For argument's sake, let's say we have a budget of 50m€, buy Dzeko for 30m & pay 1/3 immediately.
Going by what you posted earlier, that would mean 50m - 10m = 40m left.
But that is not correct, since it actually is 50m - 10m - 8m - 1,5m - 5m - 5m - ...
Unless of course we set a budget aside for "new" transfers & we still have funds left over from the past to complete the previous ones. Which is doubtful. At most we will have accrued those costs, rather than actually setting something aside.
