Adriano Galliani reveals all about Paulo Dybala and Mauro Icardi

The words of Adriano Galliani

Adriano Galliani revealed to Corriere della Sera an important market backstory: “The great champion we had thought about who, as the president has told in recent days, declined the offer, is Paulo Dybala. I had invited the agents to my home, but the player preferred a club that plays in the cups. Therefore, it was not Mauro Icardi.”

However, Monza is still very active in the market, in what are now known as the days of the condor: “Does it amuse me? Yes, but compared to thirty years ago, the mechanism of promotions and relegations throws the numbers off. Out of twenty teams, four go to the Champions League accessing a large slice of resources (Uefa provides 2 billion for 32 clubs), two to the Europa League where revenues are lower, one to the Conference, ten get saved and three get relegated. To avoid slipping to B by seeing 70 percent of revenue disappear, more is spent than could be. And with financial fair play the gap will widen further: as is happening in society, the middle class will disappear, only the very rich and the poor will exist.”
