So SMS to Newcastle?

According to Il Messaggero, Lazio have recently received a €60m bid, including bonuses, for the 27-year-old who has been offered €10m a year for five years plus a signing bonus of €12m.

For €7M+bonuses it's different though. It's affordable for us, and also affordable for any potential suitors if we decide to sell him a year or two later. There is very little downside to that deal for us.


Casemiro and Koulibaly earns around 8.5-9m and both went on transfer fees, Varane earns more iirc. Random spares are getting 7 year deals at inflated wages, so I wouldn't put it past the EPL folks.
Just because EPL can afford to throw the money around, it doesn't mean Juve can do it too. Just check the financial statements, how big of a hole we have there. It's also due to inflated wage bill, which is nicely represented by mercenaries like Rabiot.
The club need further cuts, a water-carrier type of midfielder can't make 7m+ here I'm afraid.

Never seen this kid, but hes highly rated. Nextgen could really use a forward. Da Graca has had injury issues for over a year now, and the others arent really that good.

Good relationship. We are their slut, sure they like us.
Buy Doudou costa for 46 million, sell off Vidal, trade a wonderkid like Coman for Benatia.
I’d sell for 110m

There is downside though because up until this, his contract season, Rabiot was hardly worthy of such wages. If he reverts back to the player he was pretty much every year before '22, were gonna have a hard time offloading him.
If they renew maybe it should be a short contract, like two years

I'm not against cashing in on Vlahovic, especially if someone offers close to 100M. But finding a good CF is a lot harder than finding a good CB (De Ligt/Bremer) so I doubt Juve would really consider selling. There's no internal option either at the youth levels. So if Bayern wants him, they'd have to include Mathys Tel + significant cash imo.

Good. Let's hope he goes there and we dont fall into the trap of a bidding war for this player

I was a long time lover of SMS but nowadays he's a bullet we must dodge considering how much Lazio will ask.

lotito was always gonna be a pain in the ass to deal with, and it has nothing to do with the player

honestly i have no idea how jj is stacked with $$$ nowadays, so i'll just say that i'd still take sergej if he's affordable, and hope that the management is smarter than tici. if we can only afford him through making stupid swap deals like we used to, then it's a hard pass
