£35m is a decent price, not sure on wages, Juve despite being a big club I believe are in a similar wage bracket to us. Would be an exciting deal but not sure if we'd go for it.

Quick google search puts Juve's top earner season before last at 4.5m Euro a season, which is circa £75k. This season they only had Higuain and Pjanic over the 100k mark, although in pounds Pjanic drops under.

Exactly. We could afford him if we wanted him.

We want either us or Juve to buy him though so Bayern Munich can get Sanchez.

I fear Arsenal and Sanchez have priced themselves out of that move. That contract offer has killed Bayern, so City may be the only escape route.

Juve deal risk of not going through due to technical reasons....

Bild reporting this....

Actually the change from Bayern star Douglas Costa (26) to Juventus Turin was almost certain. The Italians offered 40 million euros as a transfer. The Brazilian was also almost in agreement with the club. But now the transfer still threatens to burst.
The reason: Serie A clubs may only oblige two non-EU foreigners per season . The first new at Juve is Uruguay's professional Rodrigo Bentancur (20 / Boca Juniors). The second is now, according to the Spanish sports newspaper "AS" Real-Star Danilo (25), The Brazilian is to come for around 20 Mio and replacement for Alves.


Most certainly, this is not happenning anymore. Wonder, who else will take him now. Would love him at Spurs, but as others said here, its hard to see us paying 40m Eur & paying 100k a week.
It looks like if Juve can get Serge Aurier as their RB replacement they won't need to get Danilo. Door could still be open for Costa to Juve.
