As I said; we also bought Kulu. So net spend goes up with another 40 mil... And that's not counting the 60 mil you gave Pjanic. Who in his right mind is offering that?
Wages are a big issue btw, we added Rabiot and Ramsey on very high wages as Bosman transfers while already having Higuain and Cristiano dramatically high and we're giving Dybala a deserved raise...

He priority for you too? @Bianconero81
I'd take him, but not for that much money, and he shouldn't be an absolute priority either.

Juve turn to Kane amid Higuain row
By Football Italia staff
With Gonzalo Higuain reportedly stalling his return to Turin, Juventus are looking to the future with the dream of Tottenham striker Harry Kane.
Multiple Italian sources stated on Saturday that Higuain was doing everything possible to resist flying back to Italy, for a variety of reasons.
He went back to Argentina the moment the quarantine period concluded so that he could be with his mother, who is dealing with cancer.
Higuain is expected back next week, to undergo another quarantine period of 14 days ahead of the resumption of training sessions.
However, his refusal to return could lead to anything from a fine to the more extreme contract termination by mutual consent.
As his deal expires in June 2021, La Repubblica suggests it would save Juve approximately €27m.
This all leads Juve to look elsewhere and the Corriere dello Sport points out the ideal replacement is England international Kane.
His repeated injuries are a concern, but the 26-year-old has scored 17 goals in 25 competitive games for Spurs this season.
There’s more positive news for Juventus on this score, with the Daily Mail claiming Real Madrid have withdrawn their interest for Kane, preferring to focus on Kylian Mbappé in 2021.
That leaves largely just Manchester United as their challengers for the Tottenham hitman, who has a price-tag of €200m.
However, that was set before the coronavirus pandemic, which will inevitably have a knock-on effect for transfer fees all over the globe.

From Fabrizio Romano:
Gonzalo Higuain e la Juventus sono più lontani. Perché tra i pensieri di prolungamento della permanenza in Argentina ma anche l'ansia per il Coronavirus e le condizioni della mamma, l'attaccante sente che il rapporto con la Juve non è più come un tempo e potrebbe andare incontro a un'altra estate di mercato, dopo diversi trasferimenti negli ultimi anni. Sì, il Pipita ha capito che l'addio definitivo ai bianconeri è possibile anche alla luce di un contratto a scadenza nel 2021 per cui ogni discorso sull'eventuale rinnovo doveva essere affrontato proprio nei giorni scorsi, rinviato per via del Covid e al momento congelato.
LE POSSIBILITA' - Higuain con il suo entourage sta iniziando a guardarsi attorno per studiare le possibilità in caso di addio alla Juve, dove il suo ingaggio da circa 15 milioni lordi pesa a bilancio ed è un fattore da considerare. Il club bianconero valuterà delle soluzioni per inserirlo in eventuali scambi in 'stile Milan', nell'estate in cui Leonardo lo prese con Caldara legando il discorso all'affare Bonucci. Ad oggi i club italiani sono freddi su Gonzalo, occhio all'estero dove ha sempre un appeal importante. Ci sono poi sondaggi da club non europei che iniziano a farsi avanti, proposte non ancora ufficiali ma abboccamenti cui Higuain potrà pensare. Dal Qatar, dagli Stati Uniti dove Schelotto lo vorrebbe ai Los Angeles Galaxy ma anche dall'Argentina dove più di un club - River in testa - si è messo in fila per provare il colpo alla Tevez di qualche anno fa. Oggi, il ritorno in patria stimola ancora poco Gonzalo. Ma chissà che la sua situazione personale non possa far prendere pieghe inaspettate al futuro. Di certo, la Juve è più lontana nei progetti del Pipita.

Gonzalo Higuain and Juventus are further away. Because between the thoughts of prolonging his stay in Argentina but also anxiety about Coronavirus and his mother's condition, the attacker feels that the relationship with Juve is no longer as it once was and could face another summer of market, after several transfers in recent years. Yes, Pipita understood that the definitive farewell to the bianconeri is also possible in light of a contract due to expire in 2021 so that any speech on any renewal had to be addressed in the last few days, postponed via Covid and currently frozen .
THE POSSIBILITIES - Higuain with his entourage is starting to look around to study the possibilities in case of farewell to Juve, where his engagement of about 15 million gross weighs on the budget and is a factor to consider. The Juventus club will evaluate solutions to include it in any 'Milan-style' exchanges, in the summer when Leonardo took him with Caldara, linking the speech to the Bonucci affair. To date, Italian clubs are cold on Gonzalo, an eye abroad where it always has an important appeal. Then there are polls from non-European clubs that are starting to come forward, proposals that are not yet official but bites that Higuain can think of. From Qatar, from the United States where Schelotto would like him to the Los Angeles Galaxy but also from Argentina where more than one club - River in the lead - lined up to try the Tevez coup a few years ago. Today, the return home still stimulates Gonzalo a little. But who knows, his personal situation will not make the future take unexpected turns. Of course, Juve is further away in Pipita's projects.

Top notch, 100% not 'ronafied boredom rumours breakdown;
- Chiellini and Buffon will extend until 2021.
- Mandragora will return to Juve, and be used as a makeweight in another deal (Castrovilli?), even though he desperately wants to play here.
- Kane is the #1 Juve target, despite costing £200m.
- Higuain will not return from Argentina because his mother is ill. Presumably he will just tear up his contract and become a cattle farmer.
- Pogba is also the #1 target.
- Chiesa is also the #1 target. Comisso doesn't know yet (he assumes it's Pogba).
- Demiral is considered unsellable. Him being injured may or may not be the reason.
- Dybala will extend for life. You can get less for murder.
- Ferran Torres is the vice-Chiesa, but costs at least as much.
- Juve will sign Icardi from PSG in exchange for Pjanic and Alex Sandro. Inter are being kept out of the loop.
- We want Tonali, but he's not in our top three #1 targets.
- Zidane will replace Sarri as coach.
