We're in the rebuilding phase and people talk about spending €40m on a 31 year old Koulibaly to replace our 22 year old star defender.
As much I like Koulibaly, he is not a €40m transfer. His contract is running out next year so you can't expect anyone to pay that price. If he was 25 years old maybe he'd be worth it and if he had 3 years left on his contract, MAYBE he would be worth €70-80m. But at 31, with a single year left, I wouldnt offer anything more than €20m. And dont even think about including Gatti. Gatti is just the kind of players we should stack as we are currently rebuilding

I wonder what de Ligt's actual worth is if you think one of the best defenders in Seria for the past what 7 8 years is worth 20 million?
By your estimates I would place de Ligt's after 3 mediocre seasons at the same value since he has 2 years on his contract but performs way worse.

Pellegrini -> Cabiasso
Chiellini -> Koulibaly or Ndicka or Badiashielle
Rabiot -> Pogba
Arthur -> Fagioli
Bernardeschi -> Kostic
Dybala -> DiMaria
Morata -> Aunatovic
Kean-> Zaniolo
Who will the best signing be? Chiesa's return

If on average a players career ends at 35, Koulibaly has 4 years left. That means zero resell value to anyone acquiring him now. If you spend €70-80m on de Ligt at offer him 5 year contract, he'll be 27 and still have a resell value of maybe €50-60m at that time. In theory it'll only cost you €20-30m to sign de Ligt right now as you can probably make that money when if you sell him on in 5 years. Contracts is a key part of such business ofc, but I don't think we're rich enough to do another big money deal for a player with zero resell value (Higuain a former example). Signing a 30+ year old for huge money is just a rich club luxury and we're in no such position. If we get €75m for de Ligt now, effectively that'll make up the money we spend to sign him from Ajax and his real cost is only the wages and agent fees
