Mercato Team (Ausilio, Marotta, & Co.) and Strategies

[varmin]

Yes, most probably he doesn't have a clue what he's doing and just speaking random shit to media
Fire him and bring Wanda on his spot. At least she is good at talking nonsenses.

Looking at the past two seasons, it is undeniable that our weak link is scoring goals. What this team really needs is a strong link between the midfield and the attack. In the envisioned Conte's 3-5-2, it can be either the second striker or a trequartista. I don't see Lautaro as the SS capable of creating and linking the attack and the mid. Moreover, We have no trequartista in the squad. It really pisses me off that we are apparently not in the market for such profile. If it remains like this, prepare for a season of multitudinous crosses from Lazaro and Perisic for Lukako.

 

[MKSerbia]

Maybe we will activate again for De Paul, but I really don't know how good he is in trequartista role.

Marotta just confirmed that Lukaku, Dzeko are our objectives, and that we doing everything to get Barella

Marotta:

“I heard about this alleged meeting through the media, but I have nothing concrete to tell me if they met or not. We wouldn’t even have felt the need to disguise it.

“We’re ready to negotiate with anyone who wants to buy Icardi, respecting the value of this player.”

“Dzeko and Lukaku are very interesting players who have different characteristics. They are both targets and I won’t deny that.

“As for Barella, we want to complete this transfer. It’s only right that Cagliari state their asking price. We want to bring him here because he encapsulates our values.

“He’s also Italian and we think it important that an Italian club has a solid core of homegrown players to achieve important results.”

Wow these guys are ridiculous. Begging for anyone to come and take Icardi and Nainggolan off us, that's definitely going to increase their value alright..

And also, if they really want an Italian midfield/core, then we're fucked and wont ever win shit. This ain't 2006.

 

[Wallace]

So what happens if no one respects their values?

What next?

 

[CoolMan44]

Marotta will make them respect their values.

Why even bother with second or third place,

Lukaku-Dzeko

Perisic-Vecino-Gagliardini-Sensi-Candreva


Will win us the Scudetto... This team is clearly #NotForEveryone, just losers

So far we aren't spending much despite making several moves.

Sensi = no money involved
Godin = no money involved
Barella = ~10m up front
Lazaro = no clue but I doubt it was 20m up front
Agoume = 4.5m
Brazao = not sure on amount, but less than the 6.5m reported due to Adorante going the other way. Could be zero here as well.
Salcedo = no money involved (8m but two kids went their way)

That gives a maximum of around 35m spent so far. It probably is closer to 25m though, including Barella.

Hopefully they are saving for a big move as planned, but with their attitude I'd expect to patch things up after a transfer failure with something that we won't universally approve of.

Sensi cost 5m€. Kid going other way was sold in June to get him to books for last fiscal year. That 5m€ is just a fee deducted from profits. As for Lazaro, his fee is amortized over 5 years so it's 4m+ € per year in the balance sheet. Barella will be fee too, doesn't go to balance sheet if the loan structure is confirmed. Agoume is so low fee that it's just little over million per year in balance sheet (3 y contract). Politano goes to the balance sheet with 5m€ per year. Basically in this summer we've added like little over 10m€ annual cost to the balance sheet.

So there are plenty of room in the balance sheet specially if we can get Ciao Mario and Nainggolan out of there. Icardi will be almost pure profit since his amortized value in the balance sheet is almost non existent. If Lukaku is done with an expensive loan structure too. We should be able to get that one midfield signing.

Edit. Forgot Salcedo and Brazao. Salcedo adds over two mills per because he's a kid so only max 3y contract. Brazao adds maybe little over mill.

 

[brehme1989]

I'm talking about actual money, not accounting stuff. Proper cash flow.

I'm fairly sure, that it doesn't work like that.

A players cost is seen as wage+transfer divided by the lenght of contract. Godin will reportedly earn 6.5 mil. euro / 3 = 2.1 mil. pr. year. Don't know whether his sign on bonus was included in his wages, or if he's being paid separately. His value as an asset is then written into the books as an asset.

We're paying 5 mio upfront for Sensi. Barella might cost 10 mio. euro, but unless Barella's sign on-fee is added to his salary, the sign-on fee has to be added to the sum of 10 mio. euro - same goes with the rest of the purchases. I know that in Denmark, sign-on fees are mostly added to the wages to get around taxes, might be different here in Italy.

The kids might not be sold for any liquid cash, but they still hold a value to the club, and might be considered worth 10 mio euro, which means that we've paid 2 mio for Salcedo (worth 8 mio?) who is then added to the books as an asset.

I might've confused myself a bit here (will re-read post tomorrow )

 

[brehme1989]

For crying out loud, we have an x amount available to spend. I'm not discussing the balance sheet or the accounting of it but the real cash involved.

If a team wants 80m CASH for a player, it doesn't matter if we can take it in the balance sheet if we do not have the 80m in cash! They're not auditing us, they just want to make a deal!

If we consider that we may have had 40m in cash reserves to spend this summer and the rest will come from sales, it would seem like we do not have enough to get someone else worthy of note. If that figure is at 100m then we can say that we are not far away from being able to spend 80m on someone. We don't really know what the figure is of course.

This FFP shit has really left its mark if people forgot how actual money works

 

[.h.]

cash isnt that big a deal for us really... we've had a lot of new sponsorship etc agreements which have MASSIVELY increased our revenue. We're a business and will have access to financing if we need, too. Most of our transfer deals stagger the actual payment, too.

 

[Wallace]

Oh we will get the big deal for sure, Lukaku.

Well, you're saying that we've spent 35 this window. You just forgot to counter Sensis loan. My second point was, that depending on how the sign-on fees are paid, those might've been left out too.

 

[brehme1989]

We sold Marco Sala to Sassuolo for the amount of the Sensi loan fee. So the deal did not involve any cash.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Like browha said cash flow is not a problem. Zhang is multi billionaire, so being owned by one will allow Inter an access to money easily. We can even take almost zero interest-rate bank loan if we need actual cold cash today and don't have it at the moment.

 

[Eddie]

Does anyone know what’s out revenue now?? How much would be able to spend without counting players sales???

And how much are we allowed to go over the budge??? If we even can.

our revenue for 17/18 was 260 mil

https://www.serpentsofmadonnina.com...-richest-clubs-deloitte-real-madrid-barcelona

I think I saw expected for 18/19 was like 330-360 (including CL football and new sponsorship)

our revenue has pretty much doubled in like 3 years - cold hard cash is not a problem. FFP settlement agreement has been the issue, and now we're more free of that we're in a much better position to pursue our targets.

What we do still need to do is offload shite like Gabigol, JM, Nainggolan, Dalbert, etc, who all have heavy book amortisations but dont offer any footballing value
