Here is something else to consider, and I don't think this can be overstated.
You have to look at it as not only a move for on the pitch, but for off the pitch as well.
think about this.
When these teams are brought up, who is the first player that immediately comes to mind to not only the most ardent of football fans, but even the casual ones as well.
barcelona
Real madrid
Milan (Now PSG)
Man City
Man United
Arsenal
9 times out of 10, the answer is going to be Messi, Ronaldo, Ibra, Aguero/Tevez, rooney, and Van persie.
In fact, for Juve, you have to go back to the days of Platini when a forward was not the names on the lips of football supporters when talking about Juventus.
It's always the forwards who are the face of a club, the bandiera, the shirt seller.
I don't think that this aspect has not crossed the minds of everyone involved at juventus from a financial perspective
