If we didn't get Berardi's half when we did then we'd have to pay roughly 30M to get him. If he was owned solely by Sassuolo this whole time he would go for at least 30M like Iturbe did or like Dybala will.
But here's the thing.
Because Iturbe and Dybala were never owned at all by Juventus, or even 50% owned, their luster and appeal were/are greater than Berardi, because he is partially owned by Juve.
Instead of looking at the player for who he is, some people are instead treating this as a situation similar to Giovinco, when this is nowhere close to that.

So?
That was not even my point. Did I ever say we should not buy Berardi because his price is high? Maybe we don't own Zaza but we're most likely gonna buy him, like I said.
But you missed my point again. You think I'm against those moves. I'm just stating a fact that our budget is gonna be drastically cut because we're gonna spend majority on those players. Yet again we're seeing people talk about transfer target but ignore the fact that we're already buying Pereyra, Berardi, Rugani. And Maybe Zaza. Throw those numbers on the paper and it's not a small sum.
Actually, Berardi's price is not high at all, all things considered.
I never said that you were against these moves. The point I was trying to make, and quite frankly my dear friend, irked me a little bit, was when you said that Juve were buying their own players back, when they were never theirs to begin with
And we don't even know what the budget is. The only certainty that we have right now is that Rugani and Berardi are going to be purchased. The former already being purchased, and the latter basically being implied as such by Nedved
