I agree that El Pipita is an improvement over Mandzu.
But regarding the money, giving it a bit more thought, I think we definitely are looking to include pereyra (18M) and zaza (25-30M) in the deal and put on top 46M cash. Higuain is pushing for a move and
saw an opportunity.
Straight up paying the release clause instalments or not? I don't think thats gonna happen. Otherwise imagine Beppe getting an email from Daddy Elkann saying he has 94M available. He would be like a kid in Christmas calling half Europe to get their top forwards.
Unless of course Pogba is already gone

Cavani is not available. Stop saying Cavani, Cavani Cavani.
Not available.
So then who are you left with? Griezmann. Nope. No $#@!ing way that Atletico sells, and he is too similar to Dybala to begin with. Adebayoyofruitcup who plays for Dortmund? After all their losses this year, you think they would be
wanting to sell yet another key player?
Morata? Nope. Real Madrid were taking him back no matter what, and what this shows me, much to my chagrin, is that the board DID have the money to pay what Real wanted, but they didn't see Morata as the solution. We wouldn't be having this discussion if they did.
So. Who else do you have?
Sanchez? Nope. Not a #9 or a pure goal scorer, which is what we need next to Dybala.
Yes. 94 million is an absurd price. I get it. I also get that a Higuain on this team makes us a favorite for the CL for the next 3-4 years. And that might be the cost of doing business.

I'm not quite sure what one has to do with the other?
Did Higuain demand that they NOT purchase Pereyra?

Ridiculous to not want Morata for another 30-40 million on top of the 20 we originally paid. People really underestimated his value and potential here. Pogba is worth 120 million +, and people thought a 23 year old Morata wasn't worth over 50 mil.
I'm beginning to wonder though if Madrid just refused to entertain any notion of selling him. There's that possibility that Zidane wanted him in the squad to see what he can do, give him a year there, and then maybe sell him on after that if he doesn't live up to expectations. Being a homegrown player, an academy product, and a fairly marketable guy... I could see them having refused to negotiate for him at all, especially considering we don't want to sell them Pogba.

Malta. Eat some more potatoes. Get in positive mood. Go full muppet.

Hopefully we won't then. I can't believe this is even being discussed.
