What are people suggesting we should have done? Match Inter's offer and see him go there (because you know Torino preferred that)? Get Gabriel or Torres instead who cost 40/50m as well? Keep De Ligt and sell him for much less next year, lose Bremer to Inter this year and basically be in a worse position because we need to replace 2 CBs with Bonucci ageing?

I'd love to know what the alternatives were.
Sell De Ligt for 120m and buy Bremer for 20m... Simple

Welcome Bremer. Hopefully you'll make us forget we only came out with €19m moving from de Ligt to you (67-48=19)
Like I said, we only paid 19-20m+ something after we sell Demiral (20m) + Mandragora (8m) so this will be ease your mind for this transfer. If you add Vrioni , that will be 15m fee added from those sale. And it counts if Torino get the full add ons. Romero go to Tottenham even for a straight 50m after he is MVP just for 1 year with Atalanta

No one was willing to pay 100M for a CB? Thats crazy!

Btw, since were including add-ons, selling De Ligt to Bayern still goes down as one of the five most expensive transfers of all time for a CB. Juve did fine, sorry it doesn't fit your narrative of incompetence?
United paid more for Maguire. I think my point is clear.

Maybe just a random Kaiserslautern brazilian fan instead? :lol:

Brehme was playing for Kaiserslautern around the time Gleison was born, as a key part of a team that won the german league as a newly promoted team after being relegated a season prior and Brehme choosing to stay and earn promotion from second division with them before going on to win the Bundesliga the very next season, I wouldn’t rule out him being impressed with the story there either.

Ofc there’s probably no real correlation with Kaiserslautern and his father but was fun searching this up, would have been really realistic if Bremer was born in 1998 instead of 1997 when they were still in the second division, we could have ruled out Inter completely from the narrative. :lol:
Kaiser Bremer will be a great name lol
