Reminds me of when AC Milan started to decline. They wasted time and money on has beens.

So you'd want an uncommitted player for a season so you can make another €10m on him? It's not worth it. This strong arm stuff doesn't work with modern pampered players.
If a player wants out of the club just fuck him off. Logic dictates that as soon as the market is aware a player wants to leave your bargaining position lessens, doesn't matter if it's this season or next. The only way you get your valuation or more is a bidding war. If he wants to only go to Bayern (seems weird) or no one else will offer over €70m then we either settle or lose him for €30m next summer. He isn't going to re-sign, he can make himself €20m as a signing on fee if he goes on a free transfer. Easy money.

You know that at this time players have the advantage against clubs... we can only "make" him stay for one more year then he can negociate leave for free at the begginging of 2025, so that means next year we will get less money in case we want to sell him... and that could result in losing a 24 year old De Ligt for free... THAT would be suicide...
If a player wants out of the team what the team must do is cash in and thats the same for any team in the world.

This is the biggest problem. If we were still making CL finals we'd be in a better position and he'd be keener to stay. An elite potential player isn't hanging around for the team not winning a mediocre Serie A, especially not one that just scraped CL football. Nor are elite players going to join us right now. That's the current reality few will choose to accept. When you've got mountains of money in the PL and then teams like Barfa, Madrid, Bayern and PSG then we don't seem as attractive a proposition. If we had Newcastle money then maybe it's a different story, but we can't risk losing €50m on a player like him.
Listen guys... this may come as a shock for some of you (dont know why) but, leaving to Bayern Munich was the plan all along for De Ligt.
We all knew that was Raiola's plan for him, we all knew that he was going to leave Juventus (thats why he ask for a exit clause and thats why he wanted to lower that clause when we start to talk about a renewal)...
Remember Raiola's words from less than a year ago, he said that all was set for De Ligt to go to Bayern and the deal colapse and that it was "a real shame" and THEN he accepted Juventus offer.
De Ligt was going to leave sooner or later, even if we had won Sereie A or even if we had won CL, that was the plan and they are moving according to that, what we have to do is get the most money we can of the deal and thats it.
