Is this eternal payment for the gol di Muntari, along with taking Pirlo and Allegri from Milan?

They have cucked us two summers in a row ffs, congrats to Milan

Signs Ronaldo, has breakdown in the same transfer window.

Seems legit.

Bonucci seems as mentally unstable as you are tbh.

Happy to be blessed by your upventus tbh, I will return the favour and wish you similar blessings although considering I'm a Newcastle fan I'm not sure you want my blessings tbh.

Loan with option to buy

How could Juve ever consider this? Going from 30 to 31 years will drop his value a lot next year

And if I'm Higgy there's no way I accept a transfer, this is your last chance at a CL

How badly do Juventus want Bonucci back to accept this deal?

It much more likely has to do with how badly Juve needs to sell Higuain.

Why are you supposedly agreeing to a loan then

Bonucci leaves the club swigging and returns like a hero a year later, players being sacrificed left and right for him. And all of Juve fans were talking about how trash he was for Milan

WATTBA

The loan is for $15 million up front.  If he does well at Milan and they don't want to purchase outright I'm sure somebody will pick up Higuain next year for $35-40 million.  Which makes the total sale at $50-55 million which is what he is worth today.

As for Bonucci, 2 years ago he was the best centre back in the world, so just because he went to Milan for a year and did squat doesn't mean he lost all of his talent.  He is still 3 years younger than Chiellini and may be rejuvenated to come back home and play with Ronaldo.  I can see him returning to his old form again.  When Pirlo came he was 32 and played at a world class level for 2-3 years, so we would expect the same from Bonucci.

Fratelli, we just signed the greatest footballer ever, so it's quite disappointing to see the harsh criticism of Marotta here because he is offloading one of our young prospects who hasn't accomplished anything yet for a veteran CB who was at the top of his position only 2 years ago.  It's been 22 long years since we won the CL.  Getting Bonucci will give us a better chance of winning the CL than having a young Caldara on the roster who has never even played in the CL before. Winning the CL is the prime objective here and the reason we spent $350m on Ronaldo.  We are not worried about our future right now, as it is all about today.

I'm not happy to lose a top prospect like Caldara, but at least it allows us to keep Rugani, and also it gives us a player back who once dominated his position and who perhaps can get back to that dominate side of his to help us win the CL this coming year.

We have supposedly signed and sold every player in Serie A for the past 10 years. Just this summer we have agreed to sell Pjanic, Sandro, Rugani, Caldara, Higuain, Pjaca, Etc. And none of them have gone. Many things have happened supposedly.

There is a constant in all rumours regarding any operation with Milan or Chelsea. That is, including Higuain in all deals. For Caldara with Milan and for Rugani with Chelsea. We need money, and room in attack. If Milan can't pay this summer, then they will negotiate a deal to get paid this summer and next (loan, instalments, etc.) Just like we paid for Higuain in the first place. The club need a him (highest wages after CR) off the books.

That is all supposedly. We just have to wait and see what happens with these players.

Because we don't have to pay his wage of 15 mil and the amortization of 18 mil will be offset by the 15 mil loan fee. Ideally they would have bought him for 54, but we take what we can get this year. Next year we'll only need 36 mil for him.

Fair enough.

let me sulk, fam

honestly thought Bonnucci was a legend when I read that story a few years ago about him chasing down a guy who tried to rob him at gun point

dunno how we got to where we are now, he is an absolute MELT

When your club transfer moves are so strange that you need accounting to understand them lol
