It was clear that Maldini wanted investment to remain competitive

After leading Naples to its first title since 33 years, Luciano Spalletti received a funny gift from the ultras who returned the wheel of his car, stolen in 2021 as a threat to demand his departure at the time.

so roma - as any other club - need some plusvalenza to balance the books. with a wild guess 32m is like 10% of their revenue probably. (juve was bullied for ~3% of their revenue.) and of course it's not illegal. and of course nothing will happen to them.
and it's fine like this. that's how football works.
+ our deal with Spinazzola and Pellegrini is not the only time it looked like Roma was engaging in plusvalenza. they signed Kumbulla for 25m in 2021 from Verona and sent three guys with a combined TM market value of <3m to Verona, for whom Verona "paid" 14.1m.
