Sounds like Beppe and Paratici got their man! That's exciting in itself, really. Obviously they have significant choice in that price range, and we haven't seen them aggressively attack the market like this before. 2nd week of May!
If Zamp has got Beppe operating in the low 30s minimum, there were other interested parties. The idea that a player on the last year of their contract automatically has to be heavily discounted... even though we love the black and white, those situations aren't black and white. I'd rather our directors assess specific opportunities on their own merit, rather than operate blindly by some arbitrary standard. Dybala's in demand. Beppe and Paratici love him, he fits their profile. Boom.
Also, Palermo bought him from Instituto for 12M euro, so he wasn't exactly cheap in the first place.
Love this move, especially if those bonuses are hard to hit. This player stacks attributes, tangible and intangible, and the directors are confident in his personal/professional/competitive makeup. I think he's going to compliment and combine with our existing players very, very well.
