I am truly, honestly, wholly unmoved by this.

A 35 million player in 2020 who at best will be worth just as much 2 years from now.

Same for Gosens. But, I guess we won't have much of a choice with De Paul if we use Mandragora in any sort of deal

That’s because the Bianconeri owe Udinese €26m in their buy-back agreement for Rolando Mandragora.

Despite his serious knee injury, Juve are still going to activate that clause and then leave Mandragora on loan in Udine to complete the recovery process.
If Juve continue this kind of bullshit, there is no hope. Complicating a deal where both will likely end up at Juve is not acceptable. De Paul isn't that good, this could be a 60m transfer.

A forced buy- back is just poor management. Recording some accounting plusvalenza upfront when in reality Juve paid Udinese to play him. Whereas in a loan deal Udinese should have paid Juve. Udineses wouldn't have bought him otherwise, is Mandragora that bad? If so then Juve should have cut losses and not paid Udinese to play him let alone get him back.

De Paul is also targeted by Milan, Inter and Roma, but Juventus may well have the upper hand.

That’s because the Bianconeri owe Udinese €26m in their buy-back agreement for Rolando Mandragora.

Despite his serious knee injury, Juve are still going to activate that clause and then leave Mandragora on loan in Udine to complete the recovery process.

Also, De Paul is a request not only for new coach Andrea Pirlo, but also Paulo Dybala, who is such good friends with his fellow Argentine that they went on vacation together.

With all these factors, it’s possible Udinese would allow Juventus to take De Paul on loan with option to buy, therefore spreading out the cost.
