A team that has been crap for years is signing of an Italian star from the most dominant team in the league. Seems a big deal to me

It would be stupid from Benfica not to agree a deal because of a couple of chairs
Maybe they're Frank Lloyd Wright chairs
What a player he was!
Best DM in the league la! Stats prove it!
Gnabry officially loaned to Hoffenheim - sorry if it has been posted already.
5m for Lucas? These transfer fees are gone ridiculous, all started with Pogba, 5m unbelievable.
The Phil Jones "Lean mean tackling machine" is for display purposes only
A top class centre back at 30, can still put in 5-7 years of good football especially in Italy.
Transfer of the summer!
Snapping up one of the best players in his position, for that price in todays market, so quickly is just very good business!
You have to admire how Bayern, Milan and Juve have been conducting their transfer businesses this season. Decisive, smooth, quick, and relatively cheap.
If we signed him I'd bet on the caf focusing on the 5 year contract worth 260k a week for a 30 year old defender and feeling bad.
Wonder how much?
Just as I hoped

How many times does it need to be reported that Inter have set a price for Perisic? We get it.
Just thinking about how Kyle Walker cost almost double what we paid for Eden Hazard just a few years ago is mind boggling.
Good signing for City but the fee is utter madness.

For me this would be a great signing as he has the leadership we've been missing for a while now, is one of the best CB in the world + at 30 he is still able to perform on a very high level for a few years in my opinion. Yes, the PL is much faster then Serie A, however, I do think that Bonucci would have been a success.
Nevertheless you can argue in both directions. I hope he does well with Milan and help them coming back in the CL - and fight for the title agoainst Juve.
It really is crazy. If the clubs had better foresight they should have really splashed the cash last year. Could have got so many players for much, much less money.
Duh! Everyone knows That's when the best deals on fax machines come out. Get your fax right
What's funny is despite how crazy to fees are now compared to even 3-4 years ago, Andy Carol at £35m still looks like the most overpriced, worst signing of all time.
Not arguing about his quality or potential success, just that some posters like to focus on the negatives. We could sign Messi and there would still be endless complaints.
John Stones runs him pretty close.
Indeed. Impressive from these clubs as usual....then we have the antithesis of these great transfer dealings.....
Bonucci at Milan still seems surreal to me. Especially with how quickly it went from tiny rumours to a done deal.
Not just any team either. It's the club that dominated two decades of european football from the end of the 80s to the mid 00s
Actually, it's the first time an Inter director admits being negotiating with us. I feel this is close to an end.
If you think of players in defensive positions as merely plugs for gaps in defence, then yeah, I suppose it's easy to critique high valuations of full-backs in today's market, however, full-back's in modern times are more and more vital cogs in offensive, as well as defensive situations; the fluidity of entire systems rely on full-backs being efficient defensively and productive offensively. If you see this position as less valuable and for defensive means only, then you'll recoil at £50m for a full-back.
Yes. It's something like if Liverpool/Tottenham sign Rio Ferdinand from United in 2008. It's just story you don't believe it before you see it. Transfer of the summer.
Juventus are apparently going strongly for Matic at the moment, might not be straight forward still!
Matic will go to juventus. Watch this space
