Away from Serie A, once there was the dream championship

The Serie A championship is taken, all in pursuit of the Napoli champion. Italy expresses a movement that spends a lot, but it is no longer attractive as it once was. And hopes in old championships and young people to launch

The Serie A is the perfect photograph of the current Italian football movement. It is not true that we spend little, on the contrary. It is not even said that we spend badlyconsidering that at European level in recent seasons the results, despite the only triumph of Atalanta in the Europa League in 2024, are rewarding us.

The truth told by the numbers says that we remain a championship with financial availability, but less and less attractive. The best leave, we struggle to hold back the champions (or alleged such) And we have to work often and willingly fantasy. Which means, translated into a nutshell, to rely or some star on the viale del sunset that comes to close in Italy or invest in under 25 hoping they explode. To then sell them to the rich Premier League.

Transfer market, the ranking of league expenses

The championship that begins, with a week of the market still in front of it, is The Serie A that in the summer has invested 992 million euros with a positive balance of 45 (source source the site Transfermarkt). Absolutely not few, if it is true that only the Premier League English with 2.71 billion euros and a subbalance of 1.2 has done more. The overseas clubs, however, rigorously choose the best almost without competition, a bit like we were used to doing us in the nineties. The scissor has enlarged irreversiblely and you do not see the possibility of reversing the trend.

Other richer realities, however, have spent less on the market than the Italian clubs. In the ranking on 22 August, in fact, behind Serie A are found Bundesliga (665 million euros with a positive balance of 155), Liga Spanish (524 million, practically in balance with revenue) and Ligue1 French (516 million euros and a positive balance of 142).
Then the very rich Saudi Arabs arrive who returned to appear in Europe to shop: 416 million euros spent without counting Simone Inzaghi transited directly from the Night of Munich at the Al Hilal.

Serie A, here are the hopes in the European cups

Needless to depress, better to roll up the sleeves and work on the enhancement of the little talent we have. Looking at Europe, we present at least two level teams like Naples and Inter. The hope is that Juventus fails the growth process And that the average bourgeoisie of our championship confirms to be able to express at least a couple of solid realities for each season: the Bologna Feast in the Italian Cup is still fresh and the same goes for the Fiorentina ride in the Conference League.

Having sold well is also synonymous with intelligence, not only of ability to adapt to needs. In the first 50 strokes of the summer, Italy appears as an entrance market only in 38th place with Jashari taken from Milan to Bruges. In the list there are only releases: Osimhen al Galatasaray, stagity in Saudi Arabia and Reijventers at Manchester City.

Serie A, the charge of the forties: Modric above all

The most in view of the Italian purchasing campaign are old glories that have the best behind them: the forty year old Modrićwhich brings to San Siro his golden ball won in 2018 and the huge De Bruyne chosen to give further consistency to the Napoli midfield.

Fiorentina also chose to support the experience of the always alive Dzeko to Kean’s explosive youth. It is possible that they make the difference in a lower level championship than the realities from which they started. To be the frankness does not mean that there is less to have fun in the coming months.
