QUOTE SERIE A 380 MILLION IN THE RED 6/24/2007
ROME – Business was up by 7% for Serie A for a total of 1,400 million euros in revenue, but they concluded the 2005-06 season 380 million euros in the red. Expenses for the same period equalled 1,530 million euros. The data is from an analysis done by Sole-24 Ore on 17 teams. Sampdoria’s data is not yet available, while there isn’t any for Reggina and Messina. The worst result is from Inter with a loss of 181.5 million euros.

QUOTE Spalletti: We had to sell Chivu Luciano Spalletti concedes Roma had no choice but to sell £12m rated Cristian Chivu and will use the money to further strengthen their attack.
“I understood Chivu’s decision and he was honest throughout,†explained the Coach to ‘Il Romanista’ newspaper.
“His choice was dictated by numbers, his age and motivation. He was offered such an impressive contract and has given us so much, so this must be comprehended and accepted. When we spoke he was very open.â€
The Romanian defender’s future has not yet been decided, as although Barcelona have seemingly pulled out of the bidding war, Inter and Real Madrid continue to battle for his signature, with the Nerazzurri leading the way.
The £12m requested for Chivu will prove useful in strengthening Roma’s front like and players such as Victor Obinna, Julio Cruz and Ludovic Giuly have been named among the potentials to be included in the deal.
“In all honesty I’d like any of those three. Besides, we already have Mirko Vucinic and Vincenzo Montella returns from his loan at Fulham. If we find a player with different characteristics, then he’d be welcome. Perhaps we do miss a wide attacker.â€
The Giallorossi have been heavily linked with Cagliari winger Mauro Esposito and Udinese’s Antonio Di Natale, so alternatives for Amantino Mancini and Rodrigo Taddei – who were exhausted by the end of the season – are on their wishlist.
“Clearly we have to replace Francesco Tavano and Christian Wilhelmsson on the flanks. Esposito is certainly of interest to us. I won’t comment on Fabio Quagliarella’s quality, as otherwise Udinese director general Pietro Leonardi will go on the radio and complain…â€
Udinese reacted angrily earlier this month when Roma stated their interest in Quagliarella and teammate Di Natale.
Roma have returned Wilhelmsson to Nantes and Tavano to Valencia, although the Italian is already back in Italy for Livorno.
The club has also signed some reinforcements such as Bayer Leverkusen’s Brazilian defender Juan, Chievo midfielder Matteo Brighi and Rimini’s Ghanaian revelation Ahmed Apimah Barusso.
“If we do get a defender to replace Chivu, it will be a promising youngster rather than a top star. We already have three mature players for that role in Juan, Philippe Mexes and Matteo Ferrari,†added Spalletti.
Yet there are reports in the same newspaper today that Roma have been offered Cicinho, who does not fit into Real Madrid’s plans after the dismissal of Fabio Capello.
The 27-year-old with a Italian passport had already been close to the Giallorossi last season, but preferred the Merengues and was then out for six months with a knee ligament injury.
