So what about higuain?

According to reports we have agreed personal terms with Higuain at 7M per year, which would make him our best paid player by quite some distance too.

Juventus has also offered a Pereyra plus cash deal to be in the range of 60M, Higuain's release clause is 94M and at that point Napoli would not have a choice in the matter of his transfer. I believe it will take the release clause to sign him because De Laurentiis is insane. Apparently Higuain has also refused to show up to pre season, basically forcing a move (which is a bit shameful).

Hypothetically

In:
Higuain 94M
Pjanic 38M
Benatia 20M
Dani Alves free

Out:
Morata 30M
Zaza 25M
Pereyra 18M

Basically, it is possible to sign Higuain at his enormous release clause even while keeping Pogba but it makes more sense that Pogba is sold if Higuain is to be signed at 94M (which I don't think Juventus will pay).

I'm sure tomorrow we'll hear more. It's strange to see Juventus linked with Icardi and Higuain in the same week.

I have to say, I'm super impressed with the club's market so far. We are definitely seeing a super team being assembled with the champions league being the goal.

if higuain goes to juve you might as well close the league
holy shit

your management is doing a proper job

Yep but that's exactly the problem. Shit for the league. Last season other teams reinforced properly and Juventus still ended up winning. This season most serie a teams haven't made as many good additions, so u can imagine how easy it will be for Juventus to run away with the league.

New players need to adjust, so it wont be that easy. There will be a bit of a drawback. Maybe I'm wrong and Juve even will do great in Europe again

look at last season, worst start ever from juve and still easy champions....

I dont think he comes to Juve.

And i would be a stupid move. 94m (!) for a 29 year old, and the wages would be 7,5 netto. On the financial aspect, this would be a really dumb move from beppe.

+he chokes in the and important games

you wont regret it

Well Napoli would be able to do a lot with 94M, lets not forget that. Milan and Inter are under new ownership so, they will be improved in the upcoming seasons. Roma also has a very talented squad and manager in Spaletti.

This year will surely belong to Juventus and probably the year after that as well but as of 2018 Juventus will be undergoing a rebuild with several key pieces of this team due to leave then, including Buffon, Barzagli and Allegri.

The thing is with Higuain, he is going to leave. He has basically done that himself with his comments and apparent refusal to show up for training.

For the reasons you all have mentioned, I agree. I am not a fan of buying a rival club's best player- but imagine the team if he did join Juventus, even though due to his cost and wages it is something completely uncharacteristic of Juventus.

I also believe any offer tabled short of the release clause will not be entertained by Napoli as their owner- De Laurentiis, is crazy and hates Juventus particularly. I'm sure he's not handling this well as it is.

croatian mediums confirmed pjacas transfer to juventus vs 25M.
