are there any strong Gotze links or is this a wish list kind of thing?
Also for the guys that are calculating transfer fees, you have to take wages into account. Gotze would get 4-5 mill in wages per year which is nothing small.
Assuming our midfield will be Pjanic, Pogba, Marchisio, Khedira, Stururururu, Lemina, Asamoah we would have to get rid of Pereyra, Hernanes, Cuadrado, Cacares and Padoin, which is no easy feat. We would be cutting 1.5 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 0.8 which is -10.3 mill in wages.
Adding Pjanic at 4.7 + Alves at 4? + Berardi at 2? is about 10 mill in new wages. Gotze would be an extra 4-5 mill in wages. Madragora and the likes will probably have a negligible wage. But we are supposedly talking about Ben Atia too which is an additional yearly 3-4 mill. Say we get some less known player for 2 mill then we are talking about a 12 mill hike assuming all deadwood is sold.
I honestly dont know if we can sell off all the deadwood in the first place to cut 10.3 mill to even begin to add an extra 12 mill to our wage bill. For some perspective, we were paying 100 mill in 2011/12 (first scudetto season) and have since then added only 24 mill over the 5 years since then so 12 extra mill is not a small increase to undergo in one season (12 mill supposing all deadwood is sold). Thats half the hike we took after 5 years of growing and winning.
