Serie A, Place for Premier League Players

DBasia.news – Every year, the Deloitte firm released the report of the world’s rich club. In that report, the financial club explained detail along with the income, expense, revenue, and rating change.

In the recent report of 2018, half of the 20 world’s richest clubs are competing for the England Premier League. The top rank belongs to Manchester United.

No wonder The Red Devils are included in 20 world’s richest club. However, in that report, there were also Leicester City, West Ham United, and Southampton. The biggest revenue is from the television broadcast.

What about Serie A clubs? Juventus, the champion of Italy club don’t even include in the top 10, while Inter Milan and Napoli are in 15th and 19th.

The domination of the Premier League will be stronger if we extend the list until the 30th position. In fact, there are clubs like Crystal Palace, West Bromwich Albion, Stoke City, and Bournemouth. All the clubs have bigger revenue than Portugal huge club, Benfica.

The gap of financial power between the Premier League and the other Europe league raised the imbalance in the player transfer market. If the retired player go to Chinese Super Cup to get high pension allowance, the young talents consider the Premier League as the dreamland.

Besides the pride, the young players want to know the high salary of Premier League clubs. They don’t care about the club, as long as they are Premier League clubs.

Ahead of the next season, there are many popular names joining the second class Premier League clubs. Like Jean-Michel Seri joined Fulham, Jao Moutinho to Wolverhampton, or Andriy Yarmalenko who will wear the West Ham United jersey.

Meanwhile, the other Europe league clubs don’t mind and delighted if their players become the target of Premier League clubs. They can boost the transfer fee instead of selling the player to the club from another country.

There is also a shift in recent years. Premier League club starts to make Serie A as the place for targetting a new player. Yes, if previously the France Ligue 1 is the choice, now the British clubs started to actively involve in the Serie A transfer market.

As an example, AS Roma could get 123 million euro within the past two years, from one Premier League club, Liverpool.

FOr this season, Sampdoria released Lucas Torreira to Arsenal, Jorginho to Chelsea, and Felipe Anderson left Lazio to West Ham. This trend continued the previous season.

At that time, Chelsea bought Antonio Rudiger, Davide Zappacosta, and Emerson Palmieri in Serie A. The three players aren’t the star, but the price tags are high.

Currently, there are many Serie A players become the target of a Premier League club. From Gonzalo Higuain until Danielle Rugani, though Higuain decided to stay in Serie A and joined AC Milan as the loaned player.

Serie A often lost the star player sold to the Premier League. But on the other hand, the money can be used by Serie A clubs to get young talents. Roma, for example, used the money from Alisson Becker transfer to get Justin Kluivert.

Serie A clubs also use the situation to build their squad better by throwing the undesired players with a high price tag. Like Lazio who sold Felipe Anderson worth 34 million euro. Lazio also changed the player considered play inconsistently with Joaquin Correa, the player from Sevilla with half price and 18 months younger.

Yes, the loss of talents for Premier League made the Serie A fans frustrated. But the money from British clubs is the best way to ease the financial gap. We can conclude that within past years, Italian clubs are having difficulty in financial issue and looking for a way to survive. And this is one of the solutions.

The Italy clubs must be smart enough to survive. Moreover, Juventus decision to get Cristiano Ronaldo was also business matter. For now, Italian clubs have the money from Premier League clubs to get new talents.
