I don't know, man. If this team wins the CL this year? Holy fuck.
Think about the financial aptitude shown by this board in the last 7 years. To get a team where you have a starting front 3 of Dybala-Ronaldo-Costa, with Bernardeschi, Mandzukic, and Cuadrado on the bench.
And to never, not once during that time, ever even be considered to run afoul of FFP. Do you know how many teams would kill for that front line? My god.
This has all been accomplished under the strictest of budgets for the last 7 years, to get us to this moment. It took a lot of patience, but even in my most optimistic moments, I never thought that we would have such an attack as this.
Never.

Jeez that pic is perfect.
The salty tears of some utterly spoiled billionaire spawn and the look on dad's face. That mix between feeling obligated to comfort the kid but goddamn this is my only son and he is crying like a bitch on tv. You can see the conflict/ repulsion in his face that only someone who is a (likely bad) father could know.
Son I'm upset that Juve lost too but save it for car/ private plane ride home.

It's about your thinking he isn't important, not $.
There's a 25m diff between him and Benatia which isn't much (selling a couple of players will lower fee with recompra instead of loan with option can make up the diff). And Benatia's market value will only sink, and Rugani's can go up.
Selling Benatia is the better financial decision, not Rugani.
More importantly, he has future bandiera and future WC CB written all over him, and he's one of our own.
Also, don't be so sure we're really interested in selling him. SportItalia changed their mind three times (diff fee and done deal each time lol), and his agent categorically denied it. Will see. Hope doesn't happen, would be one of our rare poor transfers.
There's no doubt we're interested, but you're assuming he'll come running to us.
Maybe not that low, but unlikely unless CR7 made a diff.
Apparently, Godin and Simeone played a role in Griezmann's staying. They're close. Godin is Griezmann's kid's godfather. Would be weird for him to convince Griezmann to stay and then leave himself.
Problem for Atletico was they've a policy of giving 32+ yo players 1-yr extensions and Godin has been wanting a multiple year one.
Lets see how strong the CR7 pull is.

y, I guess that's really the part people disagree on.
some see him becoming a WC CB in the next few years, becoming one of the best in world like Ramos, Chiellini or Godin and the financial boost of 50m is clearly not even close to being worth losing him.
some don't think he is going to be that, and I am among those, for me he is a very good defender when in form and confident, but nowhere near to a consistent beast imo. I watched every game of Giorgio 10 years ago when he was Ruganis age and no way he'd have problems breaking into this Juve starting 11, from the moment he took that CB spot and made it his own, it was obvious that he is special. I don't see it in Rugani, for me he's a normal CB
