From Zapata and Vlasic to Zirkzee and Ferguson: here’s how much Turin and Bologna spent to secure their top players
The countdown continues in view of Turin-Bologna, a match valid for the 35th day of the Serie A championship. The Granata will host one of the best teams in the championship, which under the technical guidance of Thiago Motta has amazed long and hard wide. This is demonstrated by the fourth place in the championship of the Emilians, who are one and a half feet in the Champions League. This is also thanks to the large market that the company has been able to complete, with targeted hits and at low prices. A market which, given the performance of the new ones, actually turned out to be better than that of the Bull. In this analysis we have taken into consideration four of the best players of the two teams, analyzing how much the clubs have spent to ensure their performances.
How much Torino spent
Taking into consideration the price tags of Ilic, Bellanova, Zapata And Vlasic, you can easily calculate the overall amount that the club spent on their cards. Ilic cost a whopping 16.5 million euros, a decidedly disproportionate figure given the Serbian’s performance in the last season. Then Vlasic: the Croatian was taken from West Ham for 10.6 million. If in the first year in the grenade the attacking midfielder adapted very well, in the following year he did not perform according to expectations. Finally Bellanova and Zapata: Toro spent 6.9 million for the full-back, while the club paid 5.6 million into Atalanta’s coffers for the Colombian striker. The total is 39.6 million of Euro.
How much Bologna spent
Bologna spent much less. One of the best midfielders of the season turned out to be Lewis Ferguson. The former Aberdeen player was signed by Scotland for just 2 million euros. A real task for the Emilians, who in the event of a sale would earn a lot of money from the operation. They cost more Calafiori And Freuler: the defender arrived from Basel for 4 million euros and has been the protagonist of exponential growth. The former Atalanta player was instead purchased by Nottingham Forest for 4.5 million. In the end Zirkzee, perhaps the player who has made the most progress compared to previous years. The German has acquired maturity and confidence and delivers top-level play match after match. His contract cost 8.5 million euros. The total is estimated at 19 million of Euro.
