After two years of below average days at the office I guess it's time for another vacation.

The recompra does make sense from both Raiola, Pogba & Juventus' perspective.
1) Raiola has the opportunity to get paid commission twice.
2) Pogba gets an out clause if things do not work to his liking
3) Juventus have the opportunity to be opportunistic.
The question is: did Raiola have enough pull to actually get that in the contract, and would United accept? Well, given Pogba's hype, it's certainly possible.
The number? 60M EUR seems low. But it does make sense depending how you look at it.
How it doesn't make sense:
a) It is a loss on an absolute basis.
b) If you think of Pogba as an asset at market value, it would have been an agreement to potentially sell at below market.
How it does make sense:
a) Assuming Pogba is happy, the recompra is not relevant as he would not agree to leave United.
b) On an accounting/depreciable asset perspective it makes perfect sense. He signed a 5 year contract and if you depreciate 2 years, you get 60M. So United doesn't take an accounting loss on the transaction.
Assuming all this is true, you need to consider a few more things:
1) Is there an actual recompra? This is a rumour.
2) Is Juve interested in taking him back (given his exit) and are they are willing to pay him given that: he is earning wages of 290,000 pounds per week (EUR ~9.3M net per year) and reportedly wants a wage increased comparable to Sanchez @ 11-12M Eur Net.
3) If they are not willing to pay him at least EUR 9.3M, would he take a cut.
4) Does he even want to leave United?
5) It would likely need to be funded through sales, and would that involve a sale of Dybala?
Doubt it happens but at very least, it's a complicated operazione.

great post, you can add the mystical payments to Raiola in there too.
Such a clause would go a long way towards explaining why Juve agreed to pay him a stupendous amount of money. It's true he brought Pogba in here, but that by itself isn't a ~20mil deed, considering Pogba wasn't going anywhere in MU. We've paid Can 18M ffs, a few years later(inflation is immoral these days) and he was a starter for Liverpool.

It's the typical Pep Guardiolaism, he turned De Bruyne and David Silva, natural AMs, to CMs, still fairly attacking roles. Just start from deeper position. Martinez is in that similar school of thought in NT, tho De Bruynes best game was when they benched Mertens and played him just behind Lukaku instead. He could start attacks much more and scored too.
