The problem is there’s a lot of discretion.
Bentancur was bought for around 10m, on 5 yr contract. His book value is like 8M. So if we transfer him + 50M for SMS. Juve could argue that 58M is the right valuation for Bentancur. While obviously understanding SMS’ value, it benefits Juve in two ways.
Suppose they value Bentancur at 40, and therefore SMS at 90, you then depreciate SMS at 18 per year and pay 20M to Boca. But if you value him at 8, the payment is only 4M and the depreciation charge is 11.6.
Just through valuation you not only juice your P&L but also your cash flow.
You can bet that if sold Beppe as part of an exchange, Bepps will look to understate that value as much as possible, with out it being obvious.

No, we weren't. Confirmed by his agent, and irrespective of how you rate Rugani, there was no way we were going to reduce the number of homegrown players when we were already short.
Then you make as much sense as those who thought Rugani was going to displace peak Chiellini and Bonucci. If some did post that. Wouldn't be surprised.

I was really psyched about his signing, but by the end of the year I'd almost forgotten how good he was the first couple months, he was so bad post-injury.
In this modern world it's sometimes hard to escape that "what have you done for me lately" mindset of 'Muricans.
@Hustini @CR 7 @Kyle
Love you guys.
Muricans actually make a lot more sense when it comes to sports. Less subjectivity and more stats in Murican sports help.
You must've ticked all of them in my post lol.
SMS isn't a one season wonder. He was good the prev season too. A young player getting better each successive season only increases his value. Saying inconsistent Pjanic is better than Pogba and SMS is Matuidi=Sturaro level ridiculous form/result/rumors-based hype of the month type comment.
That's not what I exactly said, but if you thought there was more chance of us selling HG young Rugani instead of 28 yo Pjanic for a fee higher than his market/actual price (like 100m) when we've been selling good players in their late 20s since at least the 1960s, OK.
Just because we bought Ronaldo doesn't mean we've Real?Barca/Utd money now and can buy anyone. After spending like 150m net in this mercato, we had to sell to buy. Asking the club to sign another CM while simultaneously ignoring simple financial facts makes no sense.
Cuadrado will definitely get games at RB this season. It's a given. Even the coach said so. And unless you think we'll play this season with only three healthy FBs with one them being heavily injury-prone.
