Kalidou Koulibaly - CB - Napoli (13 Viewers)

[Bianconero_Aus]

like for the next three years KK is better, but we will not be able to sell him for any kind of profit. De Ligt will not devalue

That is true. But the difference is MDL was never going to stay here long term. So the moment he starts grumbling about a move, you do it ASAP and try to recoup as much money as possible. I like MDL and think there’s a potentially very good, top class CB there, but his time here has been pretty disappointing Has not been worth the hefty transfer fee and huge wages imo. A broken down 38 year old Chiellini was our best CB last season ffs.

Hell, he even hinted as much in his first interview as a Juventus player. He was here to “learn from Chiellini and Bonucci”. No Raiola-based client stays long term anywhere.

Bayern Munich have offered a salary of €12M/year to convince Matthijs DeLigt to choose Bayern. Chelsea are also interested in him. Race ongoing for the dutch centre-back, who will leave Juventus (ask €90-100M) this summer.(Nico schira)

This guy is the only guy from Napoli I loved as a player and wanted here one day. For it to potentially happen is amazing. Amazing defender and proper leader. He always had a great rapport with Giorgio so I wonder if that has/will help us seal the deal.

 

[IlCapitano]

ADL has been preparing ground for him coming here for months. Veiled shots at him, tweets by their Zuliani - Auriemma etc

I'm getting hyped this is going to happen

True

Verratti @ PSG is the only one that comes to mind

 

[Snobist]

Would you rather have him or De Ligt ?

I was hoping the day would come and see KK- De Ligt in defense. De Ligt is very young and he will get even better. Look at Rudiger. While he was at Roma he’d never make it in Juve lineup. But im Happy De Ligt is being replaced with the finest CB out there.

Bundesliga is not better than Serie A. He would have stayed if Juve were more serious. CR7 left, De Ligt leaving. If your best players are leaving then there is something wrong.

Just shut up and pay.

like for the next three years KK is better, but we will not be able to sell him for any kind of profit. De Ligt will not devalue

But he will devalue when he approaches the final year of his contract.

the options are:
1) De Ligt for 1 year who we the. Sell for 40m
2) De Ligt for 2 years who we lose on a free
3) Sell De Ligt for 90m now, sign KK for 3-4 years at a cost of 40m

Option 3 is my pick

Without contract renewal De Ligt will devalue, and a potential renewal is going to be expensive because of his special agents and not certain either.

De Ligt will have no value because he won’t extend his contract. Besides, this is the kind of thinking (prioritizing plusvalenza over building a team) that led us into this mess anyway.

CR7’s move turned out well for him.

The club wanted Ronaldo gone just as much as he wanted him to leave. He was a €30m a season millstone around our neck.

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

Yes please, easy upgrade

 

[JCK]

Get! I don't know how, get him here!

Why would De Ligt (at 22) with one year left on his contract cost the same as Koulibaly (at 31) with one year left?

I'm not against selling De Ligt if we get the right replacement but his value isn't going to half next summer. Players with a year left are still commanding big fees and there will always be teams interested in him which will push up the price. The big risk is if he stayed 2 years and left for nothing though.

I don't care how it turned out for him. That's not the point. Bayern is not allowing Lewa (33) to move away with one year contract.

 

[Salvo]

Would be perfect.

 

[PhRoZeN]

Koulibaly is errorprone too..

Oh I'd still take him.

 

[.zero]

He effectively ended Medhi’s Juventus career on the field

It’s easy for Bayern. They can piss off Lewandowski and never play him next season and still win the Bundesliga with their eyes closed. They can also find replacements in their own league with ease.

True, but I don’t think we’d get anything close to 80-90M on him if he has one year left. Most clubs will happily wait an extra year and take him for free.
