The following is a resume of an interview given by Mr Adriano Galliani to "Corriere de la Sera" although i read it in "Diario As".

AC Milan had an study made by SSC, Spectrum Strategy Consultants, one of the most important consultants in the area of mass comunications and sports in which they state that Spaniards clubs are growing almost as double as AC milan (at least Real and Barca) yearly, since 2003. If the following tendency continues, by the year 2011 AC Milan could get "only" 245 millions while Barcelona 380 millions and Madrid 440. The causes seem to be the taxes, the lack of stadiums owned by the clubs-each team in first division in Spain owns their stadiums while Roma,Lazio, Inter and Milan have to share. Also the laws concerning the non comunitarian players are against italian clubs; if, for example, a south american plays for a team during 2 years in Spain he could get his citizenship inmediatly while in Italy would take 10 years for the same player (i.e Serginho).
Instead of buying players like Ronaldinho or Messi, Milan has to worry about the Siren's call of Madrid to Kaka every single week...
