La liga dont allow them to register players unless they sell.
They couldn't re sign messi, or register new signings until Griezmann was sold (one of them was Aguero, who played 2 games then retired). And they have to sell handful of big contract squad players to be able to register Ferran Torres.
But yeah even if la liga puts some limit to the insanity, fact of matter is state banks write off or prolong their debt/loans to infinite years to help out both Barca and Real Madrid. They like wall street mega entities. Too big to fail so state bails them out.

It makes total sense for Vlahovic to wait for Juve (if we make CL, not to convince him, but to afford the investment). Tell me another big club in desperate need for a young top striker to save them? There aren't. Its really just us.
And especially more so when Vlahovic is more interested to stay in Italy, where he established himself.
So its paramount, if he isnt sold this January window, we dont sign another half measure striker this window, but only do loan deal and wait to invest in Vlahovic in summer.
P.S our biggiest treat is Man City this window, if that doesn't happen just be mainly us as most likely for summer.

Would he want to go to a club that needs saving though? Or is he likely to go to a club that is already competing at the highest level? This 'wanting a challenge' theory is all well and good, but a 21 year would want probably want to take his career to the next club. Not take a gamble at a club that is struggling. I would love to be proven wrong and for him to end up at Juve, but there are more reasons for him to want another team than there are for him to pick Juve. The only one that might favour Juve is familiarity with the league and not going to a different league and having your career go downhill Jovetic style.
Plus there's the financial element. There are many clubs who can offer him much higher wages than Juve. I doubt we can match that even if the De Light money is freed up.
Again, fingers crossed. He would be one hell of a coup if we can sign up but i'm not confident that we can.

I have no doubt he will want to come to Juve, he would become the main name of a big Italian club, and get big salary. Him and his agent has given enough indication its an option that entices them.
My main concern is can we afford the deal, and even if we can, will Fiorentina accept it? Commisso is ever more obsessive about professing his anti Juveness.

Haaland has no ties to Italy and has self professed love to English league, and was quickly a superstar name that became too big to entice, every single huge club will make it their mission to sign him. Vlahovic is nowhere near that stature and allure even if hes been super prolific this past year.
The best reason for Vlahovic might be joining Juve is he seems to have similar careful decision making of Haaland when it comes to his next club. He could easily taken the big shiny step up abroad past summer and the big payday (seemed to declined Atletico, Spurs and maybe City too), but like Haaland seems to wait only for the right club that would build around him.
How the heck did we miss that Halland deal from Salzburg for $20m. 
Imagine him playing infront of Rabiot and Benta. Painful, yet satisfying.
