Fifty-five million spent in two transfer windows for a fifth place. Brest came third with 3.5 million
Florent landed in the capital yesterday evening Ghisolfiwhich from today will start working alongside de Rossi to build the Rome of the future. An arrival in the silence of the club which has once again focused on a young foreigner, going against the trend of what other teams such as Bologna, Atalanta or Inter have done in recent years. Ghisolfi left Nice, not exactly the flower of European football, with some emotion but not too many regrets on the part of the French club’s fans. In fact, the excellent work done in Lens has not been replicated Nice from the 39 year old who speaks little, very little. And of which there are no photos, apart from those of the lucky few who barely recognized him yesterday Fiumicino. Ghisolfi becomes manager of the team of the Alpi Marittime department (less than 400 thousand inhabitants) on 5 October 2022, thus taking care of two transfer windows. The expense was not for a small team: 55 million. Definitely more than what Roma spent in the last two seasons. However, the results were disappointing as demonstrated by the criticism from the French media.
Many flops for Nice in the last two years and a place in the Europa League
—
In 2023 a ninth place came, this year a fifth which at least qualified Nice for the Europa League. A result also achieved in 2022, without Ghisolfi, complete with the French Cup final. It should be added that above Nice came clubs like Brest who spent just 3.5 million in revenue. But let’s go into the specifics of purchases. In the first year Nice, with Ghisolfi still not officially sporting director, invested a good part of the budget in 4 players: Sofiane Diop paid 22 million, the Italian Screws of Empoli for 13, Alexis Beka-Beka from Lokomotiv Moscow for 12 and finally the striker Laborde for 15. All 4 in these two years have seen their market value drop (just see Transfermarket). Diop, who arrived from Monaco, in particular is worth 10 million less today and has played just 10 Ligue 1 games this year. Beka-Beka is also doing badly and is worth 1.5 million today and has only played 716 minutes in two seasons . Flops, totals. Like Viti who was even loaned out to Sassuolo this year without managing to avoid relegation. Last summer things went slightly better with Ghisolfi with the arrival of the striker Moffi (paid 22 million) who scored 11 goals in the season and that of Boga paid 17.5 which however did not replicate the golden year of 2019-2020 at Sassuolo. However, Farioli’s move as coach was apt. But Roma already has that.
