L'Equipe say that PSG are obliged to sell & raise a capital of €70m-€90m within 30th of June before they can make any acquisitons. They could face sanctions from UEFA's CFCB on Friday.
Unfortunately the game plan here is Mbappe and I think we should use Madrid's obsession with Neymar. Even if PSG sells lesser player(they would try imho) - they wouldn't have the team for a CL challenge. That will make both Mbappe and Neymar unhappy. If RM decides to get the frenchman we have no chance...

And when I think we could have 'helped' PSG by not buying Matuidi and making the problem at least 130m I get MAD. :(

No chance either ways.

Yeah, pipe-dream transfer.

Nonetheless one of those players that would be a 10/10 acquisition almost on any price for us. And the board knows it.

That last part is given me some hope, along with the insane prices quoted for other players. If Morata is a 80M player, then Mbappe is easily worth 160...

Juventus will receive around €2m from the sale of Nicola Leali to Perugia, who are obligated to buy the goalkeeper.

Higuain + Benatia + Sandro(?) to be our plusvalenza this year ?

Who would you guys choose between Martial and Chiesa?

Mind you Chiesa is probably the biggest winger talent in Italy since i dont know.. I just read Fiorentina has put a €60m price-tag on him, already rejecting €50m from Napoli.

It would be a dream to have an attack flanked by Chiesa + Bernardeschi some day..

I like Chiesa a lot, but, as long as we have Dybala, Costa and Berna already, I dont see the need for him, Martial would make a lot more sense

How many of those midfielders were bought as creative midfielders? Hernanes? We have room for one such player in our line up and that has gone from Pirlo to Pjanic in the past 7 years, you add more in and it's too soft, this is not La Liga and we aren't aiming for 2nd place. Ideally we'd have better quality two-way or box-to-box to compliment him.....but budget.
Was Pogba not a creative player?

Stacking your midfield with creative players doesn’t just win you La Liga, it evidently wins you the Champions League, which is what we should be aiming for.

Well, yeah, he is an Italian and 20 years old. But apart from that he is pretty generic. Berna always had a killer left foot, other things followed, but you 'd always see in U21 games that Bernas left foot has some wicked power and such a quick release.
Good luck for a kid anyway, but not in Juve for 60 fucking millions

He may be less technical, but he is faster and more direct than Berna and at 20 years he's already carrying Fiorentina on his shoulders, which is impressive, he's definitely on the right track. But yeah, we don't need his profile at moment, hoping he doesn't end up at Napoli.

Spot on. You can dress a goat in an Armani suit but at the end of the day he's still a goat. Don't get the Tuz hype for italian players and ItalJuve considering how very very few could improve us. We barely played Berna yet, and people already fapping for the next italian talent who'd cost a ton.

If we pay €60M for Chiesa, B81 coma confirmed :baus:

Until proven otherwise , I refuse to rate some of these Italian attacking talents. One or two flashy games here and there doesn't change things. Time and time again , we've seen a large collection of overhyped Italian fraud attacking players(even midfielders) who amount to nothing after a few months of hype.

Besides we don't need this Chiesa guy. If a wing tandem of Chiesa-Bernardeschi is a 'dream' for some here, then we're really having low standards, let's be honest here.

Martial, and it's not even a contest.
