We got 30mil for Spinazzola too...did you read the previous page?
Spina was a useful player we shouldn't sell, he is far better than Pellegrini, possibly a Sandro replacement and we only made (29,5-22) 7,5mil profit from his sale, that's really bad business, initially they said (25-15) 10mil which was hardly bearable, but not even 10, is pathetic!
And the big problem in this transfer, as always is that we inflated prices on nobodies and give away proven champions for peanuts (essentially 7,5mil)
There are no excuses, if we only wanted to balance the books, we should pick useless players, decent Italian Lbs are extremely hard to find, ever since Zambro we have wasted millions in our quest to find one and when we did, we gifted him away for nothing...
Or we could demand a better player like Zaniolo and pay more, paying 22mil for a garbage player is a critical mistake

Footballer prices are inflated in general. €22m would be normal even without the accounting jiggery-pokery.
True, that's a universal truth, unless Juve sells a player...
