"sales"
Who exactly is up for sale ? Llorente ? Might get 5 mil for him. Woah, bring Oscar on that 5 mil.
Seriously, after Berardi, Zaza and Pereyra, not that much left
And we cant afford oscar
I don't understand, people have been here for ages? Haven't you learned anything about how it works?
Im not a specialist either, but It doesent work in the way that you sell a player for 5 million euros examples and that means you have 5 million to spend.
You have a budget for each season, let's say it's 200 million euros even Agnelli mentioned some years ago. When you get a player you sign him on a 5 year contract and he gets 3,5 million euros + transfee paid was 15 million euros ( just an example)
5 year x 3,5= 17.5 +15 transferfee= 32,5/5=6,5 million euros cost on the budget every season.
When you see the whole picture you understand things better.
Llorente was free? so the cost every season is 3,5 million euros, Giovinco leaves so 2,6 million euros in salary is gone, Pepe 1,3 million euros if we don't give him a new contract.
In only salaries 7,4 million euros saved in the budget. Let's see what we can do, Dybala just an example, transferfee 30 million euros, contract 2,5 million euros 5 years contract.
30 million euros, 2,5 millions 5 year= 12,5 million euros +30= 42,5/5= 8,5 million euros cost on the budget every season.
The players mentioned diden't give us much money but the leaved space in the budget to do new deals. Ofcourse it's better if we get cash also. It gives us a better budget for that year.
It's alot more to it, you can even sell a player and it will have a negative effect on the budget, because the player still cost you alot every season, why do you believe we gave Jorge Martinez a new contract?
As I said im not a specialist, but the way people are thinking here is faaaar from the reality how things works.
In reality a player bought for 10 million euros could be more expensive then a player bought for 40 million euros, it depens on salary, how many years he signd for.
I still think Tevez is our most expensive player ( with all rights ofcourse) if you look at how much he costs us every year. That despite the transfer fee paid is less then others in the team.
