“Sixty-two market transfers, concentrated between 2019 and 2021, are the subject of a report that ended up on the table of the Federal Prosecutor’s Office. Exchanges at high prices, sometimes very high, without really moving a single euro. Almost. The Covisoc (Supervisory Commission on football clubs) sent a report on the capital gains of the last two years to the FIGC Prosecutor Giuseppe Chinè and for information to President Gravina. Inviting to deepen its nature. For the supervisory body that monitors the financial statements, those affairs seem to have a significant impact on the accounts, highlighting critical issues. The relationship is generic: it denounces a system“.

“Franco Tongya and Marley Aké, who Juve and Marseille exchanged for 8 million (therefore with zero balance), play respectively in the fourth French series and in Serie C. Or the four players of Napoli that Lille took for 20 million in the Osimhen affair: three have returned to Italy, two in Serie D, one in C, another is at Lille without ever having played. In most cases, one of the companies involved is Juventus (Consob has moved on the same issue): the transfers involved are 42, but in particular there are 21 players exchanged for 90 million. These operations, however, have actually circulated just over 3 million, producing budgetary benefits for the Juventus club of over 40. There are also foreign business: Pjanic-Arthur with Barça, Cancelo-Danilo with the City, high figures for first-rate players, however“.
