It's actually very simple. It mostly, if not totally has to do with the new tax laws in Italy for players purchased from outside of the country. One of the parameters in place for FFP is the amount of gross income paid out to its players. Net pay to the players is irrelevant, except to the players in question.

As a hypothetical example, let's say that Player A, who signed a contract in Italy prior to these new laws, was taking home 6 million in net salary. That gross salary would be close to 10 million, so 10 million counts on the books. Now, with these laws, the gross pay would only be 8 million. Player A, if he signed this year, would still receive his take home pay of 6 million, but the cost of doing that business is less from a financial and compliance point of view.

This is certainly not a level swap of players we are talking about. Lukaku only wishes he had the skills of Dybala. Unfortunately my friend, this is the new reality. It is also why Danilo is coming here in place of Cancelo.
But we're offering 9m to Lukaku while Dybala was on a 7m net salary. I'm not sure even with new tax laws that would be a substantial saving. And it's freaking LUKAKU!

Icardi is out of the Inter project and the player has also been approached by Juve who is now engaged in the Dybala - Lukaku exchange. Should Juventus sell Higuain, Mandzukic and Kean, they could reopen the idea of signing Icardi too. [Sky]

Mandzukic can enter into the negotiations with United for exchange between Lukaku-Dybala to get the deal done without any cash, Difficult situation but work continues, there is distance on the Argentine's salary & commissions. (Sky)
