The "loss" exceeds 300 million! Italian media talks about failed signings in Serie A: Juventus’ 45 million new signing Oponda scored 0 goals

The Italian media panorama wrote an article stating that the total investment "loss" caused by "failed signings" who are currently underperforming and difficult to integrate into the team system has exceeded 330 million euros for Serie A clubs, and Juventus is bearing the brunt.

The first batch of signings after Juventus' new sporting director Comolli took office did not meet expectations. Oponda, who spent 45 million euros, has scored zero goals so far, has made few appearances, and is outside the Tudor system. Jonathan David, who is visa-free but comes with a high commission of 12.5 million euros, only scored one goal. In addition, Joao Mario, who was introduced for 12 million, became a substitute. Although Djegova, who has just recovered from a long-term injury, has shown flashes, it still takes time.

Naples, which has invested the most this summer, is also full of problems. De Bruyne, who has high hopes, is in poor form and difficult to position. Lucca, with a total price of 35 million euros, was considered "unqualified". Noah Long, who spent 25 million euros, even expressed frustration that he only had a direct conversation with coach Conte once. Gutierrez, another player who spent 18 million, also failed to prove himself. Conte even publicly complained that the introduction of nine new players was "a problem rather than an opportunity", pointing out that the investment "has no return".

Other teams are not immune. Inter Milan spent 25 million euros to introduce Luis Enrique, who played less time and had limitations on the defensive end. This investment is not a small amount for Oaktree Capital. Ricci, who was introduced by AC Milan for 23 million euros, has been reduced to the last choice in the midfield under Allegri and has even been selected for the national team. In the future, after the return of 38 million new star Aldon Asari, the situation may be even worse. Ferguson, who was on loan from Roma with a buyout of 35 million, quickly fell silent after a brief flash. His current ranking under Gasperini is even lower than that of Dov Bik.
