It is what it is.
A prime Maldini or Nesta in today?s money would cost any club 80M at least, each. Hence having such a backline for that much, is shrewd business; granted none of these players would be first team material for a Milan in its prime.
In today's cash those two would be around ?200M - Van Dijk cost ?75M and he was a bargain given how good he got. Those two are both better though, and in today's mentaly money would cost 3x his fee.
That said, defenders in the world today just aren't the same level they used to be, purely because of Pep.
