latest comments in the press suggest that our profits from this season should offset (if we make the final) all the plusvalenza requirements we had for the summer. I guess, but am not sure, that the 'lack of main sponsor payment' is also factored into that number, so its actually a good result.
This means any plusvalenza is going to go to offsetting next season or transfer budget - hopefully with some salary cuts we can reduce that need significantly for next summer too. Skriniar, Handanovic, Gagliardini, Correa alone raises about 40mil a year of opex so that helps
One major plusvalenza (say, Broz/Kessie swap, Onana) will go a long way for us, even though we still need to replace Skriniar with a new CB and invest up front. Hopefully a good new sponsor, after this CL run, will help significantly too.
Of course our looming significant debts next season change the whole picture so we just need to see how that goes
