What comes to my mind is Szczesny interviews in polish media when he was signed by Juve. He always said that what conviced him the most to join us was the whole plan club had for him. That our club plans everything ahead bot just next season.
Now how is it related to Higuain? Well last year we had Schick transfer almost closed and everyone was thinking why we actually need him with out attack stacked as he wont play on wing. Imo this was exactly what Szczesny was saying - the club planned for Patrick to be Higuain successor this season after one year of acclimatisation. Of course in the end it didnt work, because of the heart problems, but for me it was all planning ahead.
