70M for a 30 year old, nothing more than an absurd accounting shell game
Obviously.
We could've maybe gotten 20-30M for Arthur without cooking of the books. Assuming this, Pjanic' "real" cost is around 10-20M.

His market value was just under 60, considering he was bought for 30-32M. A 10M net transfer to go backwards in terms of age is disastrous sporting & financial planning
But very much in keeping with the approach of Bartomeu et al, along with stockpiling forwards who cannot all be on the pitch at the same time
Massive upgrade over Arthur...then again any lower mid-table midfielder would have been an upgrade over Arthur.
PIRLOjanic will surprise many here. Incredible player.
Delighted to have him at the club.
He will have 1 good year, fans will overhype him, then the next president will ship him out to China for 35m. It's worth it for a guaranteed Champions League that he will single-handedly bring home this season.
1 good year would be more than expected. His last two seasons at Juve were trash.
