Is it though? Lucumi will be a free agent next summer, 28yo with a tendency for muscle injuries.
This I didnt know.
Feels like that guy we got at the time Andrade, he was hailed great but then played 1 game, maybe didnt even play at all and got a serious injury.
Defenders are players that should last longer as the probability of them receiving kicks are way lower. We need someone who can be fit consistent and good.

So you’d rather us keep them and pay Bologna cash, ok.

Yeah i’d also rather him as a free agent next summer(or just skip him altogether) instead but that’s not the point of discussion here, meanwhile both Cabal and Miretti are players we are trying to offload and Lucumi is a player we’re strongly interested in for right now.
There is one problem though.. Lucumi will be signed by another club if we wait. There is interest and I doubt he will reject all offers just to get a chance here..
Cabal is worthless so even if it doesnt lower the value I still think we should include him.
Miretti is different though, not a big fan of his but he has his qualities. If he doesnt reduce the cost by 15M or so - I wouldnt mind keeping him as backup/rotation - Its not as our midfield is on another level..

Let me stop you right there
I was actually waiting for someone to do that.
The thing about potential is not just his potential but also the environment. We are full with nobodies that try to prove themselves and they keep failing since we dont have the right setup to allow them to grow.
Pogba for example (2015 Pogba) - He might succeed here with this Juve but his chances are way below that 2015 team that allowed him to be what he became before the injuries.
