A few days after Piero’s words Help during the championship celebration, when he spoke without hiding “the difficulties there are in carrying out certain transfer operations in Italy” (READ HERE), the Gazzetta dello Sport explains in detail the words of the Nerazzurri boss and the reason why certain purchases (such as the various Gudmundsson and Zirkzee) are complicated.
In recent years, the Nerazzurri club, from 2019 onwards in particular, has carried out outgoing market operations especially with foreign clubs, at least for the big transfers such as Icardi, Lukaku, Hakimi, Casadei, Brozovic, Onana, Gosens… This is because, as Rosea explains “in Serie A there are not many clubs that have certain figures available”. This kind of strategy though inevitably involves a limit also in entry operations since, having sold important players more abroad than in Italy Inter does not have a positive balance in the Lega Serie A clearing house, which takes into account the difference between purchases and sales between Italian clubs, and “must guarantee the operation with a bank guarantee”, which is not necessary for business across the border. A significant ‘problem’ for a club like the Nerazzurri which in recent years has supported a ‘self-sustaining’ market. “The figures for obtaining Zirkzee (60 million) and Gudmundsson (30 million plus bonuses) are high. This is why Ausilio spoke of the difficulties in closing certain deals in Italy” explains the Gazzetta which however specifies: “However, this does not mean that these operations are impossible” how to certify the purchase of Frattesi.
The midfielder born in 1999 was in fact purchased by Sassuolo for 6 million “‘covered’ by Mulattieri’s card with the obligation to buy (at 27) upon reaching an ‘easy’ condition and starting at the beginning of February or after the end of the January transfer window” because a key role in the game of guarantees is the formula that is put together in the operations. And precisely by taking into account the Frattesi operation, Rosea explains the advantages that the formula used gave: “1) Last summer Marotta did not have to sign guarantees; 2) The depreciation figure in the 2023-24 budget will not increase because the money spent for the loans they do not end up among the amortizations; 3) Next summer they will have to “guarantee” a lower figure than the initial one (27 million instead of 33 million) necessarily through sales in Italy, but with any form of revenue TV rights)”.
To conclude, therefore, to get Gudmundsson or Zirkzee Inter will have to work hard and possibly “work on a double track: the formula and the inclusion of a technical counterpart in the operation. In addition to the sale of some valuable young players.”
