Don't feel bad for Caldara, he listened to his agent who advised him to leave Juve Because the way Juve treated Rugani. And he may be right for that, maybe he knows his client is overhyped, actually not any better than Rugani and this season this would be proved.
So his agent was swift to accept the Milan terms, significantly contributing to this farse of a deal.
In the end of the day, it's only Juve who loses the cash, because we still value nationalism over actual value and we are willing to make quality and financial sacrifices for it, esp in the defense.
Young talents are heavily overpriced these days, after the changes made to the transfer procedures and values.
The perspective of plusvalenta overshadows everything.
Just look at the insane amount we were offered for Rugani and the insane amount we were asked for Donarumma.
A player in the age of Bonucci has no perspective, he has failed outside the only inviroment he could work and his age means, that he won't ever have such a chance again.
We will never will be able to sell him and recover that 35-40mil we are spending on him, on the contrary, Caldara, in 2-3 years from now, could cost double.
In 2-3 years from now, with Chiellini and Bonucci past their prime, we would be desperately looking for the best Italian CB we can get and will most probably spend those 50-60 on Caldara or Romagnoli to pair with Rugani.
And the 35mil spent on Bonucci will vaporised.
So this is a great financial loss for us.
We should never accept a straight swap, Juve is the only loser here.
Caldara will have an easier work, more chances to start and shine, more chances to grow his prices and 50% chances to see us forced to buy him back for twice the money we have him away and many times over his salary...
