With Coutinho going for £140M any top drawer attacking player is £100M.
That's not really how it works.

Why would you sell one of the world's best strikers to a premier league club for the going rate for good full backs in the premier league?
Because the 'going rate' is a fallacy and prices differ for each player depending on circumstance.
You don't think prices for players are affected by other transfer fees?
Age and contract length remaining play a huge part.Not all transfers are no, it depends on a lot of other factors then merely saying x should cost similar to y because y went for a high fee and x is better.
Sorry, but you're being obtuse. Yes market price is relevant. But so is age, contract length, injury record, type of experience, wages and signing on fees and agent demands. You're coming at this as if market rate is the only decider and that's where your mistake lies.You don't think prices for players are affected by other transfer fees?

Aubemeyang is 28, has a contract until 2021 and is in the top 5 strikers in the world. £60M is underpriced in this market.

He's also coming from an arguably inferior league and has, crucially, very little sell on value as pacey forwards slow down in their early thirties.Aubemeyang is 28, has a contract until 2021 and is in the top 5 strikers in the world. £60M is underpriced in this market.
With that squad, which is unbalanced, devoid of quality in key areas and lacks a lot of character? Not for me mate, they need a lot of restructuring on many levels and their handling of contracts looks appalling.
It will take some time to clean up the malaise they've slipped into, and its quite deep rooted.
Higuain was 90 million Euros at 28 years old, a year before the market completely exploded. Perhaps Dortmund just want shot of him so badly they're willing to take a hit in order to do it, but it just seems ridiculously cheap. He's an incredible player.

Napoli didn't intend to sell Higuain, Napoli priced him at that because they knew Juve had Pogba money burning a hole in their pocket.
