Italian clubs getting rich thanks to the Champions League: €250mln
Emanuele Giulianelli
La Gazzetta dello Sport reveals how much money the Italian sides have collected in the Champions League: "180’ from the end of the group stage, all four the Italian clubs can conquer the round of 16 that, from the point of view of the budget, are worth about € 250 million. A rain of gold. The Italian market pool is worth more or less 50 million: 25 are distributed according to the ranking of the last championship (10 to Juve, 7.5 to Napoli, 5 to Roma, 2.5 to Inter), the other 25 will be calculated in June, based on the games played: after four days, the income account - net of the box office - is quite clear: before taking the pitch between today and tomorrow, Juve can already count 64 million in the social funds; Inter and Napoli are on 42, AS Roma 41 approximately. Total: 189 million The difference in favor of the bianconeri has two explanations: the best placement in the last championship, and the best historical ranking in the last 10 years (Juve takes 29.9 million, Inter 17.7, Napoli 13.3 and AS Roma 12.2). At the showdown, the qualification for the knockout rounds will bring Juventus a figure between 75 (one draw) and 79 million (two wins). The same goes for the other three Italians who have a very similar "range": Napoli and Inter are between 53 and 57 million; AS Roma between 52 and 56. In the best hypothesis, the total is 249 million overall".
