The market is crazy like that. Look at Higuain's fee from Real to Napoli to Juve where it seemed his value just tripled even taking into account he was a top scorer for Napoli. Lukaku's fee for Everton was also considered high when he moved but it turned out well for them. I believe it is a combination of strikers being expensive plus intra-EPL transfers generally being way above what other leagues pay for players of higher or equivalent quality. Suarez release clause was 40 million pounds like 3 or 4 seasons back, today he would be a 100milion easily.I believe strikers are available but, clubs are asking for stupid money for these strikers. Everton wanted 100 mill for Lukaku. 75 mill is still too much for Lukaku. At best 60 million is the most I would spend on him.
brought back Defoleu , don't seem to be in the market for a right back. They will be even more dependent on Messi who is increasingly playing the way he did for Argentina trying to play like Xavi and the number 10 combined.
