I like that part “top Striker”, i would like to see Lukaku play for Juve, he’s not that old and could regain great form, but not at Dybala’s expense. I also do think that wages play a big part in it, but in my opinion they need to try the hardest to find new clubs for Higuain and Mandzbro, before making any movements for another striker
I agree. We have had so many holes to fill in the last 8 years but now we are looking more and more balanced and able to make better decisions instead of trying to fix 3 problems with the budget of one player. Another problem was when we lost those mids we also had very little attack and its very pricey to address that.
I mean we directly got a 35M per year increase from Adidas after signing Ronaldo. Essentially Adidas covered 2/3 of the wage. The 100M payment was still large to buy him, but there are other benefits as well related to the brand that will continue - including pricing power on match day. I think the rest of it is management trying to be clever in order to create room for more signings. If you can reduce the majority of your wages by 30%, that will go far in allowing you to make a couple of purchases that can put you over the top
