Talk about ambition 
We are willing to offer him 7m plus bonuses. Not at far off his wage demands. And in the current football climate with the kind of salaries players earn, I would say his demands are reasonable by continental standards. Ibra earns what, 12m?!
The main thing that bothers me about RvP is how frail he is as a player. Not the fittest around. If his injury issues can be sorted, his 29 year old body can serve us another 3 years at the highest level and maybe another year after that with decreased precision.
Although I definitely think we need to close a deal like his sooner rather than later and not let it play out like the Aguero saga, coz if this goes to auction, we'll lose hands down.

This just seems so unlikely.
That said, if this went through he'd be 32 during his 4th season with the club. He can easily give 4-5 years at top level, imo.
Also think that the injury issues are overblown, given the types of injuries incurred - some freak contact stuff, like getting his foot stepped on, breaking a metatarsal celebrating, Chiello obliterating his ankle. Our trainers did a great job last season, too, so that bodes well.
RvP @ 30M, 7M per season would be awesome for Juventus, especially with all the negative press surrounding the league right now. Consistently elite player to fill the team's biggest need, and what a win it would be for Juventus on the PR side, taking the top scorer out of England. You want players around the world to sit up and take notice of Juventus' reemergence, well a new stadium, and an undefeated Scudetto followed by a move for RvP would certainly do that. Great for our image around the world. Might sell a jersey or two, as well... those #10 RvP shirts would fly off the shelves.
RvP, Giovinco, Asamoah, Pogba, Kolarov, plus a CB for depth. RWF by committee - Pepe, Qtube, Seba, maybe even a little Giacc - until January - upgrade then if we need to. Might be seeing a fair bit of 3-5-2 anyway.
Outlay probably in the range of 75M, offset by player sales and an exchange or two.
Again, can't see it happening, but that's my fantasy contribution for the day.

They're asking 30 but we wont pay 30m for him.It should be something like 22m + Bonuses.We need a CF who can create too so in that respect he perfectly fits the bill.
Signing Suarez would mean signing additional CF which wont be financially viable.
RVP seriously is the "Top Player" we should be looking for.

But I mean... Higuain isn't even realistic! It's just to sell newspapers. RVP plays for a lesser club, Higuain plays for freakin' Real Madrid, and Mourinho has assured him that he's part of his project at the Bernabeu. Then there's the wages, which we can't afford, and the transfer fee, which would be insanely high. Forget about Higuain, it's not happening.
The question is, who do we want out of RVP or Dzeko?
I actually think RVP is the only possibility we have of a top striker, unless he goes to City, then I think Dzeko would be attainable, as he would be looking to move on.

This,
Waaay too much of a risk, it's not really worth it.
- he's already 29 years old, been injured almost all his career. One more serious injury and we're seriously screwed. 30 mil euros thrown down the trash (reminds me of a certain Andrade). And being an Arsenal player makes me even more suspicious about the guy.
