Pallotta criticizes Milan transfer policy

Cairo - 29 July 2017: James Pallotta, Roma President, criticized AC Milan’s policy in the 2017 transfer market and the big money they spent in signing the players.

“UEFA in terms of Financial Fair Play has been a complete show for us, when you relate it to AC Milan. I have no idea what’s going on there. It makes zero sense. The amount of spending; they didn’t have the money in the first place to buy the team, as they borrowed almost €300 million from some people that I know in London, at a pretty high interest rate,” Pallotta told FootballItalia.net.

Pallotta was surprised with Milan’s policy, saying, “If you can explain Milan to me, because I don’t get it. They say it’s about qualifying for the Champions League, but that won’t be enough. When the salary seems about equal to the revenues, I don’t know what the heck is going on. That’s the only one in Series A who are losing their minds!”

Palotta added, “Maybe they have this grand master plan that we’ll all figure out someday, but the rest of the teams are being somewhat rational.”

Milan had many great signings this transfer market, like Ricardo Rodriguez, Andre Silva and Leonardo Bonucci, and the club is still in the market for many other players to join them.
