The challenge between Juventus and Milan in economic data: two models that are giving different results, rewarding Redbird and punishing Elkann in the budget match. And on the value of roses and market expenses …
At the Stadium between Juventus and Milan, a challenge not only of the field but also of accounts will be staged. A match in which Milan of Redbird wins today by detachment on Juventus of Elkannto which only the advantage of the property of property on which since 2011 the Juventus club has anchored a path of growth and competitiveness for a long tumultuous and then drowned in difficulties remains (for now). For now, given the developments of the San Siro affair in Milan with the finally concrete perspective that since 2031 also in the area of the current Meazza something modern, functional and rich for the two Milanese clubs.
The current photography is that of two clubs that have embarked on the past five years in reverse. Juventus who was the lighthouse of Italian football, not only for the championships won in sequence between 2012 at 2020 but also to have succeeded, combining competitiveness and economic and financial balance, has lost the right way. AC Milan transit from Berlusconi to the Made in the US funds, with the Chinese interlude of Yonghong Li, has become one of the paradigms of how football can also be made in Italy without losing money. Indeed, gaining at the end of the seasons.
Juventus and Milan, the (reverse) parable of the budget losses
The brutal synthesis is in the budget data known from 2019 to 2024. Five years, with the Covid tsunami in the middle, in which Juventus has accumulated losses for 919 million euros and Milan stopped at 374 with a clear reversal in the last three years (2021-2024). Elliott first and Redbird then managed to transform the Rossoneri club into a profit machine (two consecutive in 2023 and 2024 and a third arrival with the accounts closed on 30 June), while the Bianconeri burned over half a billion euros continuing to ask for interventions from the majority shareholder.
Thus we must also read the -58.1 million euros just approved by the Juventus board of directors, a clear improvement compared to -199 of a year ago but still far from the balance. It is no coincidence that exor was asked for a new effort in the form of a capital increase of 110 million (30 already paid) and the business plan which planned to put everything back in order in 2027 was remodeled downwards. AC Milan has absorbed a negative season on the field by giving in a precious piece (Reijnders) before closing the budget and monetizing the technical revolution in the summer so that it can predict a positive result even after a year without the revenues of the Champions League.
Salaries and cards, all the numbers of Juventus and Milan
And on the pitch? Igor Tudor and Max Allegri have two roses available which are equivalent to value and costs. One, that of Juventus, built to withstand the impact of a season potentially by 55-60 games while the other, that of Milan, who has to face only the seas of the championship and the Italian Cup. The strategies in the last market session have been different.
Tare has optimized the technical needs, re -founded after the eighth place in the standings, and those of the budget, giving life to a swirl of sales on which he grafted investments aimed at having suffered a competitive team, also derogating from the rule of young salary young people. Milan (source Transfermarkt) spent 162 million euros with a positive balance of 14 while Juventus went to red: 137 million invested and 52 of negative balance.
Accounts in hand, as he estimated Football and Finance At the end of the summer of the negotiations, The two roses have costs not too distant between engagements and depreciation of cards: 235.2 million euros Juventus (second behind Napoli) and 197.4 million for Milan (3rd). Vlahovic’s stay in black and white brought as a consequence that the bianconeri remained very high in the salary ranking (123 million euros against the 104 of the Rossoneri) and the queue of the expenses of the summer of Giuntoli and Thiago Motta did not cease to make its effects heard at the voice depreciation (112 against 93).
Who spends better? The field will say it. Closing the challenge of the accounts and numbers, however, the verdict says that Juventus is still preferred if it is true that the value of the squad in early October – given by the database Transfermarkt – It is 582 million euros for the bianconeri and 471 for the Rossoneri. With a curiosity: Tudor’s work grew him 9% from 1 September to 1 October while Allegri’s depressed by 8.6% in the same time span. The ranking tells a different story, but the final sentence will write the field at the Stadium.
