Selling young Italian's like Zaza, Gabbia, Berardi, Immobile and Sturaro to teams in Germany and EPL is the new way to go. No need to sell your stars when there are teams in England who have money to spend.
We could easily get 40m a year for players that we own.
That is why signings players from Sassoulo, Serie B and other teams is so important.

sell zaza.... 30 mill seriously we would be stupid to let this one up. He is never going to be a 'top forward' good at best but by no means a huge loss if he left. I've always seen him as a bit of a liability getting himself booked more often than most, he has his odd clutch moment like his goal vs napoli or assist but with 30 mill we can definitely get an upgrade with that. Maybe he might learn a thing or two on how to take penalties in Germany
That's how I feel. Zaza isn't much better than a Mattia Destro or Pavoletti. You could sign a player from Serie A and fill his shoes from <10 million and then use some of the Morata funds + 30 million from Zaza to buy a top end striker.
Pavoletti as a 5th striker? sign me up:

15 goals in all competitions this year. He is an extremely strong finisher, very strong in the air, good at set pieces, and actually not that slow.
We focus so much on strikers from other competitions without taking a look at what is available in Serie A. As a reserve guy, Pavoletti would be ideal.

It is amazing how much people here underestimate our financial capacity. This isn't a zero sum game on arrivals and departures. The team generates cash, and has an underleveraged balance sheet.
We are very prudent financially, almost too conservative at times. We could go the other extreme, and run the team like Roma, and the team would be star-studded, but the team would constantly need equity injections. That is a long way from our current position. We could afford to put on another 50MM-75MM EUR in debt on the balance sheet, and run a cash neutral cash flow policy for 2 years if we really want to win UCL.
