CIES: Where Milan stand among Europe’s elite in over/underpaying for players

By Euan Burns -

AC Milan have ranked very well in a study of which big clubs in Europe have been overpaying the most for their players, a report claims.

As has been reported by Football Italia, the CIES Football Observatory has released a study that has calculated the value of players before they made a move to a club and compared it to the fees that were paid for them.

Top of the list was Premier League side Manchester United who have overpaid for their players by the tune of €238 million. The highest Italian side is Juventus who have overpaid by €233m.

Milan rank much better even when just compared to Italian clubs. The Rossoneri are judged to have overpaid by €2m whilst AS Roma are at €67m, Napol at €62m, Atalanta at €37m, Inter at €34m, Sassuolo at €19m, Torino and Hellas Verona at €3m and then Milan.

It is a testament to the smart transfers that sporting director Frederic Massara and technical director Paolo Maldini have overseen.

  1. Those who insult or are not satisfied with our players or when they see that players like Balo-Toure can’t play like Joao Cancelo or Trent-Alexandre Arnold he is 2million euro, Lord saelemekers is about 4 million. Messias is a 3.4million, Kalulu is 600, 000, Tomori is 28, Olivér Giroud is 1m, theo is a 22million. Even De ketelaere is 35 million. If Vlahovic, is 70m, that means vlahovic is de ketelaere, leao, Kalulu, olivér, messias and origi. Jadon Sancho, Anthony, Jack Grealish, Harry Maguire, darwin Nunez, griezmann, Ousmane Dembele, Joao Felix, camavinga, Tchouaméni, transfer fee can buy half or even our full squad or pay our players for almost two seasons. We should appreciate M $ M they are the boss of transfer and they are master strategists. We have a masterstroke transfer guru who spent below most elite teams and still handed us the scudetto and currently, we are playing good and beautiful football both in Italy and Europe what do some fans want an Arab billionaire who will sign players for the fun of it or a sustainable project. We might not have Kaound, but we have one of the best German prospects. For now, put some respect on Maldini’s name and thank God for giving us a Maldini at every turbulent time. As one Maldini is leaving and another Maldini is arriving we might not need a new right winger next season de Ketelaere will go to the right wing, and Daniel will take over the attacking Midfield role. I just pray the lad improves on loan and Colombo also. We are a team for now and the future.
