there'll be 4 clubs in for Pogba, tbh. In order (my perceived) of probability, I'd say its Real, Juve, PSG, Barca.

Can they take Pogba in the summer?


If they get rid of Dybala, Morata and Arthur's wages, they will definitely get one of Pogba/SMS plus at least another top attacker.

Juve are well backed financially, Agnelli's have invested like 700m into the club in the last 3 years alone. And FFP is history. So I guess they will pretty much replace each outgoing big wage player with a similar level incoming one. With no Paratici to fuck it up this time.

Imagine them missing top 4 .... we can all dream.

Not possible now. I think they are more likely to finish in the top 2. Vlahovic and Zakaria are two big improvements to their starting XI.

Juve can get a amaximum of 87 points if they win the next 15 games in a row.

I'm not too worried.

Good thing is that they lost Chiesa till end of season.

Romano:
Julián Álvarez joins Manchester City from River Plate for €17m plus €1.5m add ons, bonuses and taxes.
Álvarez will remain with River Plate at least until the summer. Contract to 2027.
I guess that rules out Man City signing Dybala?

Nah, just kidding. Alvarez is one for the future, Dybala is ready to deliver - at least in theory - new Agüero.

Some are even writing that Dybala already agreed to Man City: :yao:

Todofichajes claims the attacker has reached a pre-contract agreement with Manchester City already.

The English club is one of the teams that can offer him what he is asking for from the Bianconeri.

The report claims Pep Guardiola has personally called Dybala and explained to him the role he would take up in his team.

The Citizens have now agreed to a four-year deal with him worth €10M per season, a figure Juve had refused to reach in negotiations with him.

Kinda off-topic, so let`s call it a day and close this thread.

Grazie Marotta for another calm last day of mercato.

Yeah idk why people think cl is a given for Juve. They are not exactly in a good spot. They’ve had a good transfer window but there’s no guarantee all these signings will hit the ground running. They are blowing their load and taking a gamble because missing cL would be catastrophic. Unfortunately Paratici/ Conte made the gamble a little easier to make.

What`s the source on that? All my sources are reporting option to buy.
Read in comments that it`s set at 6M (Rubentus would pay that much just to get rid of him LOL). Fingers crossed he`s back in summer!


They are still paying part of his salary and I suspect it`s more than 60%. Anyone knows for sure?
I've read it in a WhatsApp group, not sure who was the source though. I'll try confirm that.

Edit: here's a link

They're already on a 9 game unbeaten streak in the league and they've already significantly closed the gap between themselves and 4th place. Now they've signed the best forward in the league plus Zakaria who will improve their midfield.

It might take them time to adjust and all that, but at the same time it might not. Plenty of new players, especially those from within the league, often hit the ground running. Regardless, it's not like Vlahovic is going to forget how to kick a ball all of a sudden. Any chances fall to him and you can bet he'll be deadlier than Morata.

Looking at their competition, Atalanta have gone through an injury crisis while Napoli are a massive bottlejob just waiting to happen. Milan may falter too.

I've been saying this even when juve were in 9th place or whatever - they will make top 4. While it's just my personal opinion, after the mercato they've had, I think their chances have gone from 90% to 95%.

Actually Milan is the one should be worried the most I think. Simply because the attack line couldn’t finish the save their life, Leao is the best right now but too inconsistent. Their CB problem hasn’t been solved in this window. I don’t know how can they handle in long run.
