According to the calculations made by Calcio e Finanza, the balance of this session between what was spent on signings and how much was earned from sales (expenses and earnings per player) of these 8 clubs marks an overall negative result of more than €452M and none of the 8 big clubs has ended the mercato with a positive balance regarding the buying and selling of players. In particular, in a descending order in terms of negative results:
- Napoli: -136M
- Juventus: -103M
- Roma: -94.6M
- Milan: -60M
- Lazio: -23.1M
- Atalanta: -22.93M
- Inter: -8M
- Fiorentina: -5M
The framework is very different though if the work of the big clubs is analyzed with the lens of how much the closed deals will impact the 2024/2025 budgets of the clubs società. That is adding the capital gains and losses made, the earnings from loans, the savings on the amortization and the savings on the gross salaries from players that left the clubs with respect to the 2023/2024 session. In fact, there was consideration on the player investments amortized over the years of the contract and the spending or the saving on the players salary.
In that perspective, it is noted that only #Milan and #Napoli – the latter mainly due to the missed exit of #Osimhen – will have a negative contribution from this mercato on the balance sheet. Whereas the other six will get a benefit.
Specifically (in an ascending order in terms of benefits):
- Juventus: +71.07M
- Fiorentina: +43.88M
- Atalanta: +43M
- Roma: +37.97M
- Lazio: +16.55M
- Inter: +8.93M
- Milan: -11.55M
- Napoli: -52.78M

The most significant in terms of deals was what was built by Cristiano #Giuntoli at #Juventus: if it wasn't a real revolution at la Continassa, it was almost one. The bianconero club has secured 8 signings, from which 6 on a permanent basis, with #DiGregorio, #Cabal, #DouglasLuiz, #Thuram, #Koopmeiners and Nico #Gonzalez. Whereas 2 are on loan: #Kalulu and #Conceição. Simultaneously, the club has made several exit deals on a permanent basis, with #Frabotta, #Huijsen, #DeSciglio, #Barrenechea, #IlingJunior, #KaioJorge, #Kean, #Soulé and #Chiesa, in addition to the termination of the heavy contracts of #Szczesny, #AlexSandro and #Rabiot and the end of the #Alcaraz loan. Among the new signings, the most costly deal for the 2024/2025 season is the signing of #DouglasLuiz from #AstonVilla in which #Barrenechea and #IlingJunior took the opposite path. Simultaneously, the entry deals, between amortization of players bought on a permanent basis and gross salaries, should result in high costs of close to €86.1M.
These major costs were compensated by several exit deals. Among them, the one that registered the highest sale value is the final transfer of Matias #Soulé to #Roma. In addition, there was no shortage of both capital gains (with a total figure of close to €67M) and the termination of contracts that were particularly quite heavy like #Szczesny, #AlexSandro and #Rabiot (that together had a cost of more than €35M). The exit deals should have, according to the estimates made by Calcio e Finanza, a positive impact of close to €160M for the 2024/2025 balance sheet. An exorbitant amount that by itself gave Cristiano #Giuntoli the real value of his work. So, between entries and exits, the impact of the mercato on the 2024/2025 balance sheet should result, according to the estimates, in a positive impact of close to €73.9M. Considering only the balance between entries and exits of players (only the permanent deals), the mercato session of #Juventus ended with a negative balance of €103M.
