Juventus would make a capital gain on Dejan Kulusevski if Arsenal were to offer at least €25m for the Sweden international in January.
Sky Sport Italia transfer pundit Gianluca Di Marzio reported this evening that Arsenal had contacted Juve for Kulusevski after discovering Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic’s agents won’t even take their calls.
The former Atalanta and Parma man is on the market, having fallen down the pecking order at Juve since Max Allegri’s arrival on the bench.
The Bianconeri paid €35m to sign Kulusevski in January 2020, plus performance-related bonuses.
An analysis of the latest Juventus financial statement shows how much weight each individual player has on the club’s balance sheet.
It is easy from there to calculate the minimum transfer fee to avoid making a net loss on the player.
Kulusevski would be sold at a capital gain for anything over €25m, although Juventus would more than likely command far more for the 21-year-old, especially if the buyer is a Premier League club.
He has just one goal and one assist in 15 games for Juventus this season between Serie A and the Champions League.
