it's not even clear if they made an offer.

one thing i don't get at all: we had the ronaldo deal in progress since february-march, and the club couldn't find a buyer for higuain for half a year. also, bonucci asked for a comeback months ago, so why did juve bother with barza's 1-year deal at all...

Why we can't sell Pipita to Chelsea?

Sarri probably has no word in Chelsea transfers at all. Though its strange because ADL was raging that he was trying to buy half of his squad.

I dont really understand Pipita, if I were him I would refuse to go to Milan. Chelsea might be okay because he would try new league but Milan? No CL this year, all he could possibly do (and is very unlikely) is to win Scudetto, but he already won it.

The store clerk asked me a similar question yesterday. I was standing by the counter gazing at a chocolate bar, as it looked quite tasty. But all things considered I knew I wouldn't go for it. 'Why don't you buy it?', he asked. Well, it sure would be nice, I said, and added: But the expiry date is a bit off. And I think it's a tad overpriced. As I bid him farewell, another costumer popped up and quickly grabbed hold of the chocolate. He looked brazilian, only with medium length brown hair. He bought it straight away and tiptoed out of there very happily. I hope he enjoyed his choco

Fu*ck!!! hoping that Higgy fails miserably there! Caldara and Romagnoli is potentially gonna become a great duo..I just hope they dont win anything at all in Milan!
Sad to see Higgy leave but hey we have the GOAT, so he wasnt get much playing time, and Mandzu really is a great backup to have! Thanks Pipita!!

I just don’t see this all-time great CB potential in Romagnoli. Never been overly impressed by him.

with all due respect, barza is not experienced, he's old. he was our most reliable cb 3 years ago, but now he's a huge liability. i love the man, he's a club legend without a doubt, but both him and buffon should have retired at the end of last season. @DAiDEViL

They have Morata and Giroud, they dont need him.

What disgusting deals. Getting rid our best striker and potential Barzagli replacement to bring back a 31 year old failure of a captain from Milan. Milan are getting the better end while I'm not sure of Boobnucci ever getting back his prime form.

I can't believe we did this in the same summer we got CR7

there might be some exceptions like cuadrado, but most south american players are simply mercenaries. higuain is 31, has not too much future left in the nt, he won't get any huge contract besides china, so when juve made clear that he's surplus to requirements, both on the field and in the books, he just accepted the best offer he had. it's unfortunate, as he is still a top prima punta, and allegri improved his workrate, too, so he's a better player than he was 2 years ago. his shape also speaks for itself. milan are getting a bargain for bonucci's salary.

So wait, the deal for Gonzalo is loan with option? Wtf?

 

[gagych]

We sold Caladara?? wtf

It's a 20 mil loan, which basically means they'll buy him.

 

[Hust]

They pay the 20m now, he helps Milan get into the CL which will more than pay that 20m back, then send back and find another striker. It's a money game.

Yeah, but why isnt it obligation then?

 

[abstract]

Yeah, but why isnt it obligation then?

It has probably something to do with FFP.

 

[Jem83]

Yeah, but why isnt it obligation then?

Most likely because of Milan's FFP situation. Better to report it as an option.

 

[Roman]

This.
Leonardo reassured and let Higuain and his agent know that the option will be activated 100%.
They just need it to be officially an option for it not to be registered on this year books. (FFP)

So it's only a formality. We get 55M for Higuain.

alleged screenshot from milan's homepage:

that screen has to be fake, in italian plural is rossoneri, not rossonero
somebody just probably cioued an old welcome message from a single player

 

[Mister]

Yeah, but why isnt it obligation then?

Loan with obligations are accounted as definitive purchases in the budget of that transfer year.

55m this year as opposed to 18m this year remaining 37m next year.

Once we got Ronaldo Higuain was no longer needed football wise, and definitely not needed wage wise. Juve sacrifices Caldara, but also open up the probability of another important buy, assuming they’re able to offload Pjaca and Sturaro. The savings would cover a large chunk of say SMS’ wages.

And I’ll keep saying it, De Ligt is in Juves plans in the near future.
