De Ligt got offered that salary because the whole world wanted him.
Who the fuck wants Dybala? And why dont they line up for him?
The answer is simple - he is not worth it.
The club, we as fans need to be more demanding, less forgiving.
The club has become a comfort-zone-haven. The club needs to operate as a ruthless corporation, not a family farm showing unconditional love to the players.
Casillas got old and comfortable? Goodbye. James has underperformed too many times? Bye. Ronaldo thinks he's gotten bigger than the club? Arrivederci.

This is an argument about how distorted our wage bill is. I illustrated an example of a top young talent who has just arrived at this club being among the highest paid players but it's not just them, some undeserving players are on big contracts at this club. From Dybala's perspective, given that he was the MVP of last season, given that he has scored 100 goals for this club, given that useless players are on long term contracts, maybe just maybe you can't fault him for asking a figure way above his actual worth...
If you want to see ruthlessness at this club, first we need to fire the fraud that is running the day to day operations at this club.
