Juventus financially strong but worried about Serie A
According to KPMG Football Benchmark study, and as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, a few cubs can boast of being in the same situation as Juventus, as the club has seen substantial growth since the 2011-2012 season with 75% increase as well as 48% increase in salaries.
However KMPG is concerned with the rest of Serie A, as a trend has been steadily occurring over the last five years; sales had increase by 17% as opposed to salaries which had only increased by 16%, which is in stark contrast to other top leagues in Europe. The Premier League is at 76%, whereas the Bundesliga is at 45%, La Liga at 36% and finally Ligue 1 at 29%.
Serie A’s low growth rate is the major concern for not only Juventus but the whole of Serie A.
