Although I'm extremely annoyed with Marotta at the moment, I will say two things in his defence:-
1) The Italian league is extremely unappealing at present, none of the other big teams are attracting talent from abroad either.
2) As a result of this, all transactions are occurring between Italian based teams. But nobody is gonna sell their prized assets on the cheap or to a direct rival when they know there's a possibility one of the oil teams could pay a larger sum.
