Sky Italia also report Barca are going to make an offer to Juve for Morata. How is this going to work? Juve buying Morata for 35m from Atletico only to swap him with Depay? It makes no sense for them. Depay is a LW/SS. This would leave them with Kean and Kaio as the only forwards in the squad.

I'm not sure, but haven't jube just extended the loan of Morata or they bought him outright?

No, they haven't bought him yet. It's a 2-year loan which ends in June. They have an option to make the move permanent for 35m but till now they didn't intend to. That's why i am wondering how this could work as Atletico are also involved in this.

So, my memories are correct. It's bad deal for jube imo. As far as remember, it's 10 mln loan per year + Morata's hefty salary, and at the end they have nothing.

I guess it would be breaking the loan deal between Atletico and Juve and then Barca signs Morata on loan from Atletico. Atletico would have to return some money to Juve I guess as Juve paid 10m€ for this year's loan too (and they'd acquire that money from Barca then). Issue would remain who could Juve sign to replace Morata in this window?

GdS and Tuttosport have the answer to your question - Divock Origi and Icardi.

I've said Origi would be a good back-up ST for a couple of years, but if they're buying him to start then Juve might be worse off than we thought.

Talented midfielder but he has a very bad attitude. If he takes this move seriously, he could be great for Venezia and a Serie A player to watch for the future. Else, he will continue throwing tantrums and he will just waste his talent.

He sounds like a ...nuisance :awyeah: (sorry)

Morata is an absolute turd. How he's played for the clubs he has is beyond me.

I'd like to see Hickey stay in Serie A... nice to have a Scot there!

Somewhere I read that's not net number, but gross. Would make more sense since over 10m€ NET sounds fucking ridiculous. How are the salaries generally in MLS? If the number originates from American media, I don't think it's net.
I seriously doubt that it's net, this is what Giovinco said recently(kinda funny actually). His agent dropped the ball, you'd think a professional footballer with his caliber would have a competent agent that knows whether the salary is pre or post tax.
