Dybala 120 mil. ? Based on what?Previous showing?
He scored 5 goals last season and by all standards he was appalling based on his potential. Now let's take rashford who scored 11 for man utd. Would juve pay 120 mil. for him, cause he obviously had a better season than dybala in that sinking ship.
I want to say that we should stop overrating our players because it creates unfounded expectations.
I for one would keep him and give him one last chance , but if he doesn't perform I lose nothing while the club loses another 10-20 mil.
It depends on the market conditions and juventus’ willingness to buy or sell. Juventus seemed desperate for Lukaku so it appeared like Dybala’s value was understated in order to try and get that swap done. But if the team had no interest in selling the player and he was expected to play in the starting 11, his value would be much higher. His previous season was not great but he played behind two goal scorers strikers in a #10 role when he played. Allegri preferred that he not play as #9.
You can’t ignore that he’s 25 and has been one of the best young players in the world for 4-5 years and is VERY marketable. When he plays as a secondary striker, he puts up around 20 goals reliably. When he plays as an attacking mid, that gets cut in half but his assists increase. Last year was a specific situation where Allegri had trouble playing both Ronaldo and Dybala because Allegri always plays with a traditional #9 and loves Mandzukic.
So what is he worth? Well as an example: Di Maria was bought for €75M, flopped and was sold for €63M. He was 27 going on 28 and Manchester United was actively looking to sell him but not with the same aggression as Juventus appears to have.
Dybala had bids that were around rumoured around €160M in 2017 while it was said that Juventus wanted €120M after signing Ronaldo according to Zamparini in 2018. Let’s assume he was worth €120M in 2018 after scoring 22 and assisting 5 from a secondary striker position, which I think is conservative. Di Maria was sold at 85% of his previous price after flopping at Manchester and was 2 years older, less marketable, and plays in a position that is less sexy that Dybala. So I think if Juventus isn’t aggressively trying to push him onto a team, his value is at least €100M (85% of €120M). €120M is not crazy either (that would a assume a peak value of a bit over €140M.)
