had my heart set on Bruno Alves
economically it makes sense I guess.
It certainly makes sense from an economic point of view. Also, factor in that evenif Alves came in, he would not be starting. Therefore, the transfer fee of 8-10 million, with a player on his wages, would not be money very well spent when the likes of Lucio are available on a free transfer.
Now, it is up to Marrotta to take that money that would have been spent on a CB, and provide Juve with a quality striker, and a good LB/LWB
