Summer mercato 2020

[porcho]

Hard to tell. If I had to guess, it's a cashflow issue. Even loans cost money and you have to cough up cash up front. What we are doing now, Inter did last summer. They got Barella and Sensi on loan + options...and this summer it was time to take up those options and cough up cash in terms of 1st installments. I'm sure the Lukaku installments aren't chunk change either. That, coupled with loss of revenue and shortage of cash due to COVID, and you got what you see this summer.

I think we're in better shape because we didn't have any big obligations to dish out big sums of cash this summer.

Edit: Porcho beat me to it

 pretty much though. They're in the position we will be in IF we don't play our cards right this season and hit the targets we need. eg. UCL plus any other increased revenue we can get.
