Beppe never said anything publicly about fee's. Every trustworthy source that was right exactly on the fee before the official news said two things over the last few weeks:
01.) We demand 120m
02.) The main issue to solve is the agent fee for Raiola
So we demand 120m initially, but in the end only get 105m€. Guess what happened, guess who pay's part's of Raiola's fee indirectly? Juventus. And if Marotta never demanded 120m in the age where he believes paying 90m for Higuain is a good idea, than that makes it even worse. When you sell a player you actually don't want to sell, you shouldn't negotiate, you should have a demand that either gets fulfilled or not. That's how bigger clubs - actual non-selling clubs - handle those situations. Marotta could learn a thing or two on that front.
Selling Pogba for essentially Higuain + 15m/20m is lunacy, especially when you include things like age and marketability into the calculation. The money we made for Pogba is basically already gone. If someone would have suggested that before we actually did it, that person would have been laughed out of the room. But some fans just care about feeling good and deluding themselves for that sake, rather than being justifiable critical of certain activities around the club. That's why not few defended the deal we made for Vidal as they do now with Pogba.
Marotta has overall done a fantastic job at Juve, but his handling of the midfield in the last 12-13 months has been anything but that. Last year we missed an opportunitiy to improve the midfield, after Khedire turned out to be a replacement-player rather than an improvement-player and now we have done the same with thing with Pjanic.
