I love Kolo, but €60m is craziness. And wouldn’t even shock me after it’s all said and done if the final figure will end up being 65-70M.

There’s still so many other needs to look after that we seemingly don’t have the money and now the time to fix.
Yes, PSG need to offload as Kolo excluded from their squad and we shouldn't play their game.
I do prefer we chase someone like Bonny whom Inter signed rather than Kolo for the price. €10m + €45m already excessive for us and going beyond that should not be an option.

Just to clarify, Kolo was bought by PSG for 95m. His current book value is 56m. His book value in a year from now will be 37m after 19m in amortization. So a 10 + 50 deal will mean that PSG will make a plusvulenza in a years time if is an option with easy conditions to make it an obligation. If its an obligation they will make a small plusvulenza now.

The only way I can see this happening and Vlahovic staying would be if Kolo agrees to a much lower salary for the first year of the loan contract and then have the salary rise to a pre agreed level after Vlahovic leaves after contract expiry.

This kolo saga is turning into this summers koopmeiners: we wait all summer, get fleeced, only for the player to massively underperform.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand then we are stuck with him cause we cant sell him for his price in books + his big salary... we have to do this EVERY year!

Its like Juventus lives in a Groundhog Day Movie...

Just need someone decent to backup david. If you spend 60M on Kolo he has to start. Its a luxury meanwhile we have one wingback on the right, no one dependable behind yildiz and chico, and one left footed CB named Lloyd.

What would you guys think of a Vlahovic - Saelemakers swap deal? He can play wing back on either flank.

Imagine he could pull of Muani, Zhegrova and Saelemakers and dispose of Nico and Vlahovic at the same time.
I don’t care how bad Dusan has been, swapping him for Saelemakers is horrifying. Might as well just keep Nico.

Yeah well... the "whatever" is playing the next 2 games including the one against Inter and may I remind you what happends when in Juventus you say "XXXXXX is gonna play most of the time"?
he’s really not that bad for a backup. According to Agresti, Atalanta tried buying him multiple times this summer but Juve rejected them
