He has been a key player for juve for 4 seasons when they won the league. They also reached the final of CL. He was key for France in their QF run in 2014 WC and final run in 2016 euro.
Bale hadn't achieved half of this when he moved

They are going to ditch the winger system and play 2 up top with Higuain and Dybala and a diamond.
Why was the medical in Madrid? Moratta was in Madrid too apparently, don't like the sound of this.
23 y/o Pogba for 100m or 28 y/o Higuain for 94m?
Pogba will be closer to 140m euros all in, so much more than 94.
But yeah, pretty insane money. They're only doing it because of Pogba money though. Even if they could afford it before, I can't see them justifying it without that huge influx.
Maybe he is vacationing there?
Oh of course, that makes more sense then. Still, I do think that's a massive fee for Higuain, too big for me.
Well he broke the Serie A goal scoring record. He will give you goals no doubt about that. But that's a lot of money for someone who is 28.
i'm not buying he's had a medical at all
Yes but dont Juventus only get 120m Euros while the other 20m Euros go to his agent?
That's the first thing I thought... has he been on fire since he left Madrid??
That'll show 'em!
No, but seriously, we kinda need Pogba.
Nick him for free when they can't pay his wages.
Weren't some journalists/ITKs suggesting that Juventus can still afford Higuain without selling Pogba?
With two installments of €47m per year this sounds more plausible, no?

Still awaiting meltdown that he had a medical in Madrid someone has gotta say it the thread is far too positive atm..
PogbON!
PogbON!
He has scored 71 goals in 105 in Seria A alone.
Absolutely spot on!!!
Agreed. That is quite a gamble for Juve. I reckon it implies that Pogba is on the move now for an astronomical fee, only a cash flush side would pay that, otherwise it approaches insanity. But, it's all transfer speculation and paper nonsense until we get the final details I suppose.
I think the wages might be a problem for them
If there is any truth in this Pogba is off. Juve can spend around 50-60m per season.
Pictures of his blood sample about, apparently. I haven't seen the picture.
This deal is around 94m.
Well that basically means that Pogba to United is 100% sure...
He means Pogba is leaving Juve.
And this deal is 47m per season
Ohhhh gotcha. I thought he meant the Pogba deal is off because they can afford to buy without selling him .
it doesn't really matter how they pay him. Parts of the italian media has linked Pogba's departure to Higuain coming in for days now. Whether he's just a big name replacement or they are using the pogba money, doesn't matter, it's the signal we've been waiting for.
Pogba leaving Juventus should be pretty much a given now, let's hope it's to us.
To be fair to Juve, they did what Spurs and Liverpool should've done with the Bale and Suarez money. Get one quality player to replace a departing quality player, not a bunch of decent to above average ones.
Don't believe for one second that juventus are spending that much on Higuain, even if they announced it themselves.
Yeah that's what I mean. They are already negative even after the Morata sale.
They can probably offload Zaza and couple of young players but will be still around 70 or something net spend which overshoots their transfer budget.
Maybe Juventus were waiting for this deal to be concluded before they signed off on the Pogba deal.
My thinking is, why has he had a medical before activating his clause, and also why Juve not made a huge deal of his medical like they do all the players they sign?
Aparantly that transfer changed within a hour. Things change
Why?
for two seasons. I don't think they will spend 0 net next season. Besides if they sell Pogba it won't be 100m pounds cash. It will be in installments as well.
They did this when they sold Zidane as well and remained competitive, very well run club in general (apart from the match fixing stuff). Compare that to us when we sold Cristiano Ronaldo, that summer still haunts me.
They would need a replacement in some way. Now they can play Higuain up top with Dybala taking Pogba's place as a #10 with Pjanic and Marchisio/Khedira behind them.
€94m for Higuain and €120m plus for Pogba? Football really is on its arse.
