Zavaglia, FIFA agent claims that Juve had closed Neymar for a 35m fee, but Santos had only one condition, that this deal would only hold if they didn't proceed in the tournament they were playing. But they did proceed and won it, and at gave em bit more of a capacity to hold onto Neymar for another two years.

Interesting, if true, coz that kind of shatters the we shatters the we have no more than 22m to sign a player argument. Two years ago, would be Marrotta's reign too.

On a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being extremely unlikely & 10 being an almost certainty, this rumour is about a minus 12 :D

You & others can keep coming up with as many examples as you want, concerning supposed deals we had or offers we made for serious money (ie wages higher than 6m a year or transfer sums higher than 20-25 million).
However, the fact remains that we haven't closed such a deal in quite a few years now. Think it through & make of it what you want.

This was the same season we were chasing Aguero? Of course, we'll have you say that too was only an enquiry. If GDM said we went big for Jojo last season, and this guy is saying it about Neymar, you could make a case for it, because the club will never officially talk about a big bid/deal that fell through. Agents might however, and what does it serve them talking about two seasons later?

But Minus 12, surely. 20-25m it is. :)

yeah and he only had to sell thiago silva and ibra to get balotelli... what a guy!
Still though, Marotta never did and never will buy a wanted player like Balotelli, NEVER in his carrier!
Which is not even a top player to begin with, just a highly advertised and overhyped player, but still way beyond Marotta's reach.

There is a huge difference in class from managers that regularly sign the Kakas, the Ronaldos and ronaldinhos and small time managers like Marotta that never secured a deal wich such high profile targets.

Of course Galliani is cack and he only accomplished what he did because of Berlus political influence and dirty money.
But even then, when he contacts an agent, his word demands some respect, as he has experience whith such transfers in his carrier, he has concluded a lot of them.
Even when everybody knows that Milan is now in a terrible situation, mush worse than we are, the managers and agents, respect him for his past deals.

On the other hand noone takes seriously Marotta, not even Italian clubs like Parma and Udinese, thats why we always overpay for our players, cant make a profit from sales and will never touch international high profile targets, as long as we have Marotta...

yeah marotta wouldn´t have been able to complete this deal...
- balotelli is italian and a milan fan
- balotelli wanted out of city
- city had no interest in keeping him
- milan had a shitload of cash because they sold their two best players...

btw: i sometimes wonder how people like you think transfers happen or don´t happen...
e.g. higuain: like a hundred different sources stated that he have an agreement with the player and he is more than willing to join. so marotta makes an offer (let´s say 22mio), real demands more (let´s say 27mio)...
now what happens? do you think that agnelli and anybody else who has something to do with money at juventus says "27mio is no problem beppe, just pay it" and beppe answers "fuck no, i will offer 20mio".
just wondering. do think it goes like this every time?
