MiType: Juventus spent 84 million euros to buy players with similar characteristics in order to obtain funds

October 7th News Recently, "Miyi" talked about the transfer policy adopted by Juventus in recent years. They used young players as "cash machines" to sell outstanding young talents in the second team to obtain funds, one of which is Sulei who transferred to Rome.

Suele scored 3 goals and contributed 2 assists in the first six rounds of Roma, becoming a key player of the team. In fact, in the three transfer windows, Juventus spent more than 80 million euros to bring in players at the same position, and they could have obtained the right players for free in their own youth training camp.

Specifically, last summer, Juventus spent 33 million euros to sign Nicholas Gonzalez from Florence. This summer, another 37.4 million euros were spent to sign Concesan from Porto for permanently and 14.3 million euros to sign Gerova. A total of more than 84 million euros are used to introduce wingers and counterfoot right wingers, and these players have characteristics very similar to those of Sulei now.

However, due to financial problems and the inability to sell highly paid players, Sulai was eventually sacrificed. Solei's agent Martin Guestadiseno revealed after the official announcement of the transfer: "When we realized that Juventus had to sell him because they faced economic problems and budget constraints, we decided that Roma would be the ideal place for Sulei."

This was purely an economic problem, because Sulei (unlike Heysen) was loved by head coach Thiago Mota: "He performed well in the offensive system I planned, but the decision was made then and I needed to bring income to the club."

Sulei said unabashedly that he called leaving Juventus a "pain point." At that time, Juventus sports director Cristiano Juentoli was facing a deadlock: he could not sell big-name players who were not in the plan (such as Chiesa and Costic), nor could he bring in his favorite signing targets (such as Copminas and Nicholas Gonzalez).

In hindsight, this is a failed decision: In addition to Copmenas, who has not yet played a role, Concesan Jr. and Nicholas Gonzalez can contribute a goal or assist every 208 minutes (14 goals + 10 assists in total), while Sulei can contribute a goal or assist every 191 minutes at Roma (8 goals + 7 assists in total). At the same time, Juventus' account also lost €50 million.
