main problem is his price, how many players in history went for 94M? and how many of them were over 25 years old? and all of them were (much) more marketable than Higuain so they were actually worth every penny. if we sign a 29 year old player from Napoli, i sure prefer Hamsik. with 94M we can get Hamsik AND still have enough money for Icardi for example. or Sanchez

Pavel was also twice the player and 2x cheaper
Nah. To all of this. Nedved was 2x cheaper when the market was half the price.
Going by transfer market inflation, with the idea that Pogba is worth 120 mil euros or more... Higuain is worth 80 mil euros. Now, 94 million is overpriced, but by nowhere near as much as y'all are suggesting. He just broke the all-time Serie A goalscoring record, and while he has had trouble scoring in big matches in the past, Juventus would be the perfect setting for him in my opinion. I think he'd destroy every competition with this club and the support structure it has.
He's also 28. Stop this nonsense about 29. He isn't.
I certainly don't want us to pay 94 mil for him, but i'd be perfectly fine with 75-80 mil with how the market is going. Especially if we could toss some players in to lower that.
As well, our club isn't going to make this move if we don't have the money for it and our management doesn't think he is worth it.
It's stupid complaining about transfer fees. We will pay what we can afford. Agnelli isn't going to authorize Beppe potentially bankrupting the club if Higuain can't perform. So if we really want him, and can afford 94 mil, and do this, I don't see why anyone would complain. It's not your money.
