I kinda agree with you, but that's not how the club approaches those type of deals, remember how we insisted that Rafia signs a new deal with Lyon so that they can receive a transfer fee instead of losing him for free? That's what I meant by maintaining good relationship with some teams, if that gesture helps us to get Aouar this summer or talented youngster like Cherki in few years then that was a good call from the board and it was worth it. If Genoa develops the next Baggio or Del Piero or Inzaghi in next few years and our good relationship with them provides to be key to sign him up then that gesture they did by structuring deals beneficial for both teams instead of snatching a prized youngster for free would be all worth it, regardless of how Rovella develops and even if Rovella turns out to be a pure crap none of us would give a flying fuck because eventually that helped us sign a real gem. Something like that might happen or won't happen but looks like a risk the club is willing to take so it's not a surprise they acted the way they acted with the Rovella deal.
That's not how I operate on FM though, I act like a shark on 30th of December trying to steal any player I like on expiring contract while he is negotiating with his current club for a new one, but Juventus in real life chose to do it in a different way, we might not like it but from their point of view it does make sense and it can be profitable in the future.
Actually the only thing I disagree with you is that this is a short term thinking, I think it's more like laying the groundwork for eventual long lasting relationships that might and can be profitable for both clubs in question. Would it really turn out to be profitable, I don't know, it might or it won't, is it a good strategy or a bad strategy - don't know, it might be good or not so good, time will tell. That's how the club operates and even if I personally don't fully agree I am honest when I say that I really see the logic in their actions, I really do, even if it was up to me I would probably be an ass and not only sign players on free but convince them not to renew with their current club even if they have an year or more lasting contract...
