Getting 54m-55m + Bonucci for Caldara and Higuain, who is just a burden at this point, is a good deal. Until those rumours about Caldara started i was unware that he is the next Nesta.
This deal isn't about Bonucci or Caldara btw. Those two are just casualties in our attempt to get rid of Higuain. No one wants Higuain, he is expensive, old and a question mark fitness-wise. Chelsea doesn't want him & Milan only wants him in combination with a Bonucci/Caldara trade.
So it's either get rid of Higuain as part of a Bonucci/Caldara trade or keep Higuain as burden on our books for years to come, which probably would force us to sell Pjanic or Alex Sandro. And at the very least decrease our transfer budget going forward.
As i said before, this deal can't be seen through the lenses of sport. It's about economics, that misconception is why there is such a mental breakdown in this forum in the moment. Juve is a business under the microscope of Uefa, and sometimes in business you have to make tough decisions.
It was clear that signing CR would lead to a sacrifice. Getting rid of two bench players is a better sacrifice than losing Pjanic or Sandro.
