Serie A needs a domino effect in the transfer market

Up to now, the transfer market in Serie A is quite gloomy, although this tournament has just had a quite successful season. With the economic situation not looking so good, in order to have better deals, this tournament is in dire need of a boost from the domino effect in the transfer market.

Serie A is in need of a domino effect in the transfer market from blockbuster deals, such as Newcastle buying Sandro Tonali from AC Milan.

When the 2023 Summer transfer market has passed 1 month, the transfer situation in Serie A is quite gloomy. Although it had a quite successful 2022 - 2023 season, when a series of clubs in this tournament went deep in the European Cup, even reaching the final, the economic situation has not had any obvious improvements.

Juventus, considered the richest club in Serie A, has had a completely unsuccessful season, combined with the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, making the club's economic situation very bad. Not only Juventus, the parent companies of other major Serie A clubs such as AC Milan, Inter Milan, Napoli, Lazio... are not in a better economic situation. Don't talk about investing money in the club, as long as they don't withdraw money from the club to help pay off the debt of the parent company, that's already good enough.

Therefore, the fact that the summer 2023 transfer market in Serie A is gloomy is... completely normal. Not to mention the blockbuster deals worth hundreds of millions of euros, but the deals worth tens of millions of euros are also very few. The notable deals that have taken place in Serie A can be counted on one hand, such as AC Milan buying Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Chelsea for 16 million euros, Torino buying Ivan Ilic from Hellas Verona for 15.7 million euros, Napoli buying Giacomo Raspadori from Sassuolo for 26 million euros, Sassuolo buying Andrea Pinamonti from Inter Milan for 20 million euros...

Napoli bought Giacomo Raspadori outright after a season on loan from Sassuolo, playing excellently, worthy of investment for this club; AC Milan had the money to buy Ruben Loftus-Cheek because they sold Sandro Tonali to Newcastle for 64 million euros; Sassuolo bought Andrea Pinamonti after selling Giacomo Raspadori to Napoli... It can be seen that the majority of transfer deals taking place in Serie A so far, if not on loan, then need to have a boost from selling players at high prices, then have money to add personnel.

Therefore, many Serie A fans are expecting other domino effects to take place in the coming time, helping this tournament have more money to add personnel, thereby helping the quality of the tournament, if not to improve, to maintain the current level of development. Deals such as Sandro Tonali, Hamed Traore, Justin Kluivert, Guglielmo Vicario, Dejan Kulusevski... will all be important sources of money to help promote other deals that follow.

Some deals in Serie A are expected to take place in the near future, of course with undeniable numbers, so that clubs in this tournament have more money to add, to strengthen their forces. That could be the deal to buy Andre Onana of Manchester United from Inter Milan for about 50 million euros; it could also be Paris Saint-Germain buying Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus for about 70 million euros; Newcastle wants to buy Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for about 100 million euros; Manchester United wants to buy Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta for about 80 million euros; Lazio wants to sell Sergej Milinkovic-Savic to Al-Hilal for about 40 million euros...

If these big-money deals can be successfully closed, Serie A clubs will have a lot of money to “go shopping”, to invest in young talents or to strengthen their squad, thereby ensuring their strength for the new season. For example, Inter Milan can buy Romelu Lukaku outright if they sell Andre Onana to Manchester United, Napoli will have plenty of money to build their squad if they sell Kim Min-jae, Victor Osimhen or Khvicha Kvaratskhelia; AC Milan will have money to reinvest after selling Sandro Tonali for a record price.

It is clear that the Serie A transfer market in the summer of 2023 is looking forward to the domino effect from blockbuster deals, from which the clubs in this tournament will have more money to supplement their forces. Otherwise, the competitiveness of Serie A clubs in European cups this season will be questioned.
