I agree that being decent for this kind of money and hype won’t cut it as we all expect a world class midfielder for it, but how is it all that ‘expensive’ in this day and age when both IlingJr and McKennie who are at best bench options for us are in their last year of their contracts and everybody else who wants them are trying to lowball us because of it, realistically in this mercatto if we would to sell them separately they wouldn’t fetch together more than €35M combined if we are lucky, so adding about €15M or so on top of that to get an automatic starter with plenty of upside like Douglas Luiz i think it’s not that bad business at all, especially considering we are getting rid of two salaries at once also makes it more feasible.
What is working out in our favour is they don't want to sell him to another PL team(Arsenal seriously interested)
Their fans seem gutted to be losing him.
If you ask me, it's pretty crazy to think JJ are signing a midfielder(one of their best players) from a PL team that will be playing in the CL next year.
He’s one of the three best CMs in the PL this season. I’d put only Rodri and Guimares over him in his position.
Our most significant and proper midfield signing since Pjanic. Think of the amount of shite we amassed since 2018/19 in that position that never worked out (Rabiot, Ramsey, McKennie, Locatelli, Pogba mk 2)
Moise Kean is not a part of Thiago Motta's plans and he is ready to leave Juventus this summer. Fiorentina and Bologna enquired about him plus newly promoted Parma. The issue now remains Kean's €3M salary. However it's believed he will take a pay cut to play somewhere else. @NicoSchira / @tuttosport
He should still hold a decent resale value for at least a couple of more seasons even if he doesn’t necessarily hit the ground running here, also he is a always available kind of player, only thing that could really ruin everything for us is him suddenly turning injury prone, which i highly doubt will happen anytime soon as he literally has no injury history since 2019.
@Mark can we get the schedule in the opening post of the thread, its easy to calculate plusvalenza a bit and see how much we safe with wages, with a side note that its from last year so amortization or value is lower.
