An analysis by the Italian daily newspaper 'Il Sole 24
Ore' has discovered that the total debt of the Serie A teams
amounts to 380 million Euros.
A worrying result has come out of the analysis carried out by 'Il
Sole 24 Ore', where it was found out that Italian football is in
red, with a loss of 380 million Euros in the past season.
The team with the worst balance is Inter, with a loss of 181.5
million Euros, almost half of the entire Serie A losses, and in
'second place' we find Juventus with a loss of 36.5 million
Euros.
The other big Italian team, Milan, has a profit of 2.48 million
Euros, thanks to the sale of 42 million Euros of Andriy Shevchenko
which allowed the European Champions to end in the green side of
the balance.
The club with the best balance is Udinese, where the Friulani ended
with a profit of 6.5 million Euros.
This proves yet again that the finances in Italian football are
disastrous, a trend which has been constant for the past ten
years.
The only positive note is that in the previous year, the total loss
was of 407 million Euros, therefore there was a slight improvement
in the balances, even though it is not enough to auspicate a bright
future yet.
