There are many teams that get players to trade their core business, even at the highest level (just think of the states that have been historically dedicated to this: Portugal, Holland, France…): Benfica, Ajax, Monaco In recent years, they have achieved record sales and, in the meantime, have also managed to win (in their country but also in Europe).

It in and of itself isn’t bad, there are companies that live healthily off capital gains. The problem is abuse and should be carefully examined in all countries in which it is marketed. How do you prevent abuse? It is a federal problem that is not only related to the football league and not only to Italy: there are no objective values, FIFA is making a program to reach an objective value as possible.
