 | Beppe Marotta: Serie A is a league in transition, no longer the Eldorado of the 2000s. Our trajectory is down. Real bought Mastantuono for 60 million, we wouldn’t pay more than 35 for a young play17-03-2026 |
Beppe Marotta admitted that Serie A is not what it used to be. The problem is that the trajectory of our football is always downward. We are a league in transition, we are no longer the Eldorado we were in the 2000s. Today, great football players come here when they are already 40 years old.
Here`s an example: Real Madrid signed Mastantuono for 60 million euros. In Italy, if a player was born in 2004, 2005, 2006, they will pay a maximum of 30-35 million euros for him. The market for incoming transfers is very limited.
In addition, big clubs like Inter, Milan, Juventus, Roma, Napoli and Atalanta have focused on capital growth. In the 2000s, it was rare to see clubs selling players. But today we would not be able to provide adequate financial reporting if we did not emphasize capital gains. This is a big difference, and it is also due to the fact that our television rights abroad were sold 10 times cheaper than theirs, ” said the Inter president.
