We need list of all players. Wage bill and ammortisation
But Cardinale is running the business….
Last season 25 million books in red.
This season gross salary is the same, ammortisations are bigger. Nkunku, Ricci, Gimenez, Fofana -> potential cash, still under ammortisation list.
Leao sale cut some costs and Ramos, Moreira, And Gila raise value of squad.
There is potential for balance to be more in red -> in a case loaned players are not sold, and lower league and europa position.
But Cardinale is operating business now on much higher value.
Salary cup is on extremely high level in Ac Milan.
And about 10% of that wage bill is going to Nkunku, Fofana and Bondo, who aren’t even playing for us… and doesn’t factor in the settlement with Bennacer.
As things currently stand, RLC, Tomori and Modric (and Hutchinson) will come off that at the end of this season, but we’ll take back on whatever is covered by loans this year.
