He wasnt an established player in the Brazil squad though, he didnt even make the squad for the Copa in 2019 the summer he left. And managed 1 competitive appearance in the whole time he was at City, which added to his 1 previous competitive appearance prior to signing for us. And this as you say at the peak of his career.He was at his peak age as a player, an established member of Brazil's squad and, at club level, had won a heap of medals over the previous four years at the respective most successful clubs in Europe's top two leagues. In the light of that, IMO €37 million was a perfectly respectable valuation.
You're entitled to disagree. I think you're nit-picking and not looking at the big picture.
