“Juventus have already set out a plan to buy Motta out on a permanent basis. The Bianconeri will sign him from Udinese, I am 100 per cent sure of that,” Giuseppe Bozzo, Motta's agent told SportItalia.

We'll most likely use him in some deal this summer, hence the transfer.
Let me see if I got this straight. Instead of for example paying €12M to Lazio for Lichtsteiner, we'll pay €5M to Udinese and then give €7M + Motta to Lazio?

If we can use the Motta signing to get Licht, it's a smart piece of business.

Pepe, on the other hand... :confused: unless we use him to get Vargas or something...

We don't have to pay 5m to Udinese, though. We have an option to buy him for 3.75m.

So we could pay the 3.75 to Udinese (maybe even negotiate it to lower it down to 3m) and then buy Licht for 7m+Motta which in the current window will be equal to 10-10.75 million euro.

I wasn't paying any attention on numbers, but just saying how the process works.

Papers in Italy say our offer at the moment is around 9mln while Lotito wants 10 (maybe that is our offer). On the other hand, I'm not sure we'd use him for Lich, I somehow don't see Lazio wanting Motta.

That's just genius. So we pay 5 Million and send him to Lazio along with 7 Million Euros for Lichsteiner. If we don't buy him, we still only have to pay the same 12 Million (the value of his release clause) to get Lichsteiner from Lazio :confused:

Imo, if we buy Motta it won't be just to use him in a money+player deal. It will mostly be as part of our attempt to work out a bigger deal with Udinese, which includes Sanchez or Inler.
We already have a bunch of youngsters and players like De Ceglie who are more than enough for the player exchange deals Marotta is working on. No need to buy Motta for 3.75 and then use him in a deal where he'll lower the price for 3.75m or less.
Even Marotta won't end up paying 11.25m to Udinese for Pepe and Motta without getting something bigger in return.

Minus wages of Motta. It's still the same thing, but I'd rather get rid of a crappy player than pay more for Lichtsteiner.

I'm just scared that we'll sign Motta permanently to use him in a deal, then end up getting scewed and have to keep him :mad:
