That transaction actually seems very well suited to Milan's philosophy. We have always been a team that sells for below market value, mainly because our directors have no negotiation skills whatsoever and has an insatiable desire to kiss other club's ass. Meanwhile, we are also very willing to completely overpay for Italian players, because Berlu and his dumb ass "Italian Milan" initiative. Bertolacci and Romagnoli were both brought in at over 20M not necessarily because of their level of play but rather their passport.
Now of course, a normal rational person would not trade in the second best striker in Serie A for a Juve bench player straight up without earning any extra money. Zaza might be a few years younger but he is nowhere near Bacca's level. But this is Galliani and these kind of ass backwards transactions are almost his trademark nowadays. So it will probably happen and Galli will again educate all us fans that it is he and Berlu who build the empire, not us idiotic fans.
