Sounds promising
If €60m is not a significant amount in Covid time I don’t know what is.
Especially considering they bought him a year ago for €25m.
I saw this today thats why i put Rugani
Glad it's tuttosport, was worried for a sec. They link us to Juve players quite frequently every now and then.

I'm so out of the loop. Isn't Rugani a good player? For that fee why wouldn't we be all over it can't say as I've seen anywhere previously here or elsewhere suggesting we were linked/ rumored etc.Glad it's tuttosport, was worried for a sec.

He's 26, aside a loan spell he's been at Juve since start of his career. Never been a regular, and now 5th choice behind De Ligt, Demiral, Bonucci and Chiellini. Decent ball playing centre half but I'd stay well clear, it's a very risky signing to be aiming for given his lack of experience and gameplay time (also once he seemed like playing a bit regularly knee injuries stalled his progress). So yeah, big no for meI'm so out of the loop. Isn't Rugani a good player?

Think €12m goes to his previous club so the fee they’re looking at is €48m, deduct any other bonuses, salaries over the year, etc. The profit margin is eaten somewhat.If €60m is not a significant amount in Covid time I don’t know what is.

I think it’ll be topped up with bonuses, some achievable, some more creative.

I believe the 20% to Bordeaux is only up to €45m. Still €9m though and the general point is perfectly valid.Think €12m goes to his previous club so the fee they’re looking at is €48m, deduct any other bonuses, salaries over the year, etc. The profit margin is eaten somewhat.

This claim is wild and invalid. Some of our defenders have been a bit of a let down in some respects but the vast majority are well beyond being shite as you claim. Two of those earmarked to leave Ottimendi and Stones have done their bit even if in the case of Stones his career looks like it is stuck in the sand. Mendy has suffered serious injury but he can still put in a shift Cancelo looks like he may come good and was excellent for Portugal recently. Ake has played only one game and while his performance was encouraging we will have to wait until April to offer a verdict. Individually and collectively we under performed in defence last season but that was down to a lot more than having a load of shite to pick from.
Stones and Otamendi were fairly pricey (at the time) signings who were meant to lead our defence for 5+ years. We got cumulatively about 1 good season each from them. Given our ambitions and the importance of central defenders, that's at minimum pretty poor.
