If they actually do a Luis Alberto / Arthur swap I will stop watching football

This has chances of happening only in Juventus fans dreamland.

1) Lotito never accepts counterparts for his players. NEVER.

2) Arthur would have to take a massive paycut for Lazio to afford his wages. Lazio's highest salary is Immobile at 4m and Arthur is currently earning 5m. Milinkovic is earning around 3m and Luis Alberto is earning around 2.3m.

That’s a big move for Atalanta. Probably not an exact Papu replacement but they have been missing that type of player. They still need an Illicic replacement.

Bad news for us in 2 ways. 1) Atalanta just got better. 2) Sassuolo just got money so they need ours less. They aren’t going to be as likely to do a cut rate deal for someone like Fratessi.

Here I was thinking Boga might actually flop at Atalanta. He’s a monster with the ball at the feet but always struck me as an individualistic player. Then again Ilicic looks like a corpse these days so it’s probably worth the investment.

How are atalanta able to spend like this?

Musso 17
Lovato 7
Demiral 2.5
Zappacosta 7.5
Koopmeiners 10
Boga 22

That's a lot of spending for a club like Atalanta specially in covid times, isn't it? I know they sold Romero for a big sum but they also had to buy him first for half of what they sold him for iirc.

Salary is the key.

I am sure Beppe will keep an eye on the situation in case Dybala becomes available but imo he's too much of an injury prone for the wage he demands.

You know Atalanta get money from CL right ? It's huge for them.

If I remember correct they bought Romero for 16m and sold him for over 50m. they sold also Kulusevski for 40m to Juventus a year earlier. So, that's more than what they spend on these players (66m). And maybe they have someone who will be sold, like Gosens. They are well covered in every position.

Sales, salary and CL money basically.

How can we have the same average yearly wage bill, if average annual salary is almost twice. No way this is correct.
This is the source:

You are right, there's a typo. Juve's annual salary is €153.765.000, and that number €102.307.000 is of Inter. They also say so when you click on each teams for details.

I don't think the reported numbers in that website are correct. For example take our salaries:

Screenshot 2021-12-26 at 19-28-56 Inter Milan Player Salaries (2021) - Serie A Salary.png

Most of them are different to what has been reported to the media.

This website looks more reliable.

Do you have the GDS annual report that breaks down the entire league team by team? I usually save that data off and upload the Inter snippet to the contracts thread but haven't seen it this year.

I have searched for it but sadly i couldn't find anything about this season. It's a real shame as their annual reports were always reliable.
