Juve trade Higuain for Manolas?
By Football Italia staff

Gazzetta dello Sport claims there is a possibility of Juventus trading striker Gonzalo Higuain for Roma defender Kostas Manolas this summer.
According to the newspaper, both clubs value their respective players at €36m, given Manolas has such a release clause and Chelsea have a €36m option to buy Higuain.
Therefore, a swap deal could happen because it ‘suits’ the two sides, given Roma must raise €45m for Financial Fair Play and will receive a ready-made replacement for Edin Dzeko.
The Old Lady, in turn, would gain an experienced stopper to replace Andrea Barzagli and Martin Caceres.
Manolas has been linked with the Bianconeri for some time, while Chelsea are unlikely to retain the 31-year-old, amidst the uncertainty of their transfer ban and with Maurizio Sarri leaving.

It was obvious from day 1 that Higuain will be sold for a huge loss.

yeah, but it looks way fucking funnier when you're exchanged with Manolas, not just sold for a big loss

It seems that you find all the suffering the club goes through amusing.

loss = sale below player's book value

i think the club would be happy to sell higgy at his book value (which is around 36m). i'd consider a manolas-higuain straight swap valued at 36m a decent business at this point.

I just saw a quote from higuains brother/agent that he wants to finish his career at juve

I'm ok with this deal too. We all knew when we bought him that we weren't exactly going to make a profit. At least here we'd be getting much needed reinforcements for a player that wasn't even here last season.

Statistically, we ALWAY ALWAYS ALWAYS go after the free CMs. (pogba was less than a million though)...Pogba, Can, Khedira, Pirlo and soon Rabiot.

Ramsey too.

LOL we have probably spent more on Higuain than all CMs combined since 2006

These rumors seem so strange. Sarri, Rabiot, Icardi, these aren't people you would normally associate with Juventus. Aside from apparently Sarri since he's being reported almost everywhere at this point, these are really hard to believe. Something's going on...

I think what is going on is a change from Beppe to Paratici. Paratici is not as concerned about buying workmen types the typical associated with Juve over the last few years.

I think Rabiot is a fine acquisition but Icardi would be such a dumb move.

At this point, I'd rather sell the club if these are the names we're bringing in. These characters epitomize the definition of the words cunt and filth. This is not the Juventus I want to see, the Juventus I fell in love with and grew up watching.

Sorry Sarri, Icunti, and Retardo Rabiot embody everything I despise and hate in coaching and players. Very disappointing (absolutely wrong direction to take).

2006-2011 was suffering, those are just individual mistakes in an otherwise well run club.

 

[pavluska]

Imagine having Bonucci, Sergio Ramos, Rabiot, Ronaldo, Icardi...

A team of cvnts.

^It's happening.

We're assembling the cvntiest Juve ever.

I was thinking that, but even so I would assume that there is an overall internal "company culture" of sorts to abide by. One man leaving should've change something so ingrained. Sure, you can change a crest and jersey with no problem, but intangible things like that tend to stick around.

Could you imagine Sarri having that homophobic outburst he had at Napoli while here? Icardi openly fighting with fans? Never before could I picture such a thing. It seems so unreal.

Maybe it is part of why Beppe is gone?

Now Icardi yes I really cannot picture Icardi and his "agent" as a part of Juventus regardless of management changes

Agnelli trying to shift the culture of the club? I guess, but at the same time this would directly contrast the whole "family friendly" thing we also seem to be going for. It seems such a confused approach.
