If you're gonna spend 94 mln on Higuain, you have to consider opportunity cost.

This is clearly not about business.

What is it about?

What is it about?

Winning the CL. From a business point of view it's clearly a bad deal (and they know that). From a football point of view, I find it to be a very bad deal too.

how is it a bad deal on both financial and football points?

I've read this was okayed by Exor I.e. they might be providing the Capital for this?

It's my opinion. Already wrote why.

Well AA supposedly told marotta to get Higuain at all cost so quite possibly, and probably why this transfer will not be dictated by the Pogba move

Yeah, like that's going to happen. Maybe they'll give a low interest loan, that's as far as we can expect.

Winning the CL is all about business IMO.

I don't mind Higuain, I actually think he's a great striker. But for that kind of money I'd try to get the Neymars and Griezmanns of the world before going for Higuain.

I know football is business, but you can't look at it as only business. Just like you can't look at it as only football.

If that's true and we don't have to sell Pogba to finance this deal, then I'm fine with a 90m swine.

That will depend on how clubs are run.

For instance, Arsenal prioritizes business over football. Our management seems to believe both are as important.

This is just my opinion of course.

You're right and I was gonna mention Arsenal. They don't win anything.

Juventus will pay the rent of the new house of Higuain (€30k per month). Juve will also pay a commission to Higuain's brother. [RAI]

 

[Hængebøffer]

€30k? What a load of bs

 

[Juliano13]

Not so long ago we relied on the iaquinta´s matri´s and Borrielo´s. We have improved me thinks.

We have improved in attack (even without Higuain), but our midfield was a lot better (even before we sell Pogba). That's why 90m for the fat choker is terrible. When we buy Witsel and end the mercatto, people will finally realise that.

 

[IliveForJuve]

I still don't believe we'll get Higuain.

 

[CrimsonianKing]

I'm still 100% against this move but seems it's happening, isn't it... Hope our board knows what they're doing. If winning the CL has become our goal why are we looking at a player that repeatedly failed at the big stage, at crucial moments? And with a price tag that high?

Agree. It just seems too abnormal. I haven't read about the deal but this forum occasionally. I was away for some days and this plays erupted with rumours.

But you're Brazilian. Can't trust your judgement here.
