The actual Italian player tax is about 43%, in addition, the club must pay a special tax of 5%, which is 40% in total, and the tax rate is almost equivalent to 50%
The money is the cause of the club. Players talk to the club about the annual salary after tax. Players don’t care what the tax is. They see how much money they can get in the end.
For example, Ibrahimovic renewed his contract with Inter Milan for an annual salary of 12 million euros, which is after tax.
In addition to giving this money to Ibrahimovic, Inter Milan Club has to pay more than 11 million euros in tax.
It’s equal to that an Ibrahimovic will cost Inter Milan more than 23 million euros a year.
Only Lazio will implement the salary cap system, and they also know that doing so will reduce the appeal to those stars.
But if we don’t do this, Lazio may go bankrupt.
There are no more stars.
That’s it. Lazio’s salary is a big part in its annual budget, which puts a lot of pressure on the club.
Lazio dare not raise wages easily.
……
Lazio’s current income mainly comes from the league video broadcast, the transfer income from the sale of players, the bonus for participating in the Champions League and the share of the Champions League video broadcast.
The prize money for the Serie A championship is small and can be ignored directly.
Because the prize money for the Serie A champion is … one million euros!
Yes, I didn’t write it wrong, and you didn’t read it wrong. The prize money for the four major leagues in Europe, Serie A, is only one million euros!
In stark contrast, the Premier League champion bonus is 40 million euros, the La Liga champion bonus is 15 million euros, and the French League champion bonus is 16 million euros. Even if we always emphasize healthy finance and thrift, the Bundesliga champion bonus is 3 million to 7 million euros.
Compared with other leagues, the Italian league is like a short, poor and ugly diaosi.
All this 1 million euros can be ignored directly.
Another small head is the ticket revenue.
Why is the ticket revenue small? Let me tell you something …
The home of Lazio is the Olympic Stadium in Rome.
This stadium can accommodate 100 thousand people, but most of the time this stadium is not full of seats
In these two seasons, with the improvement of Lazio’s performance, the seating rate has increased, with an average of 45 thousand people.
The average seating rate of Changsheng in his first season was 35,000.
Tickets for every home game in Lazio range from 20 euros to hundreds of euros, but hundreds of euros are in particularly good locations. Such tickets are rare, and the average ticket price is 30 euros.
In the first season, the average ticket income of Lazio per home game was 1.5 million euros, and the ticket income of 19 home games in a season was 19.95 million euros.
In the last two seasons, the average seating rate was 45 thousand people, and the ticket income of 30 home games totaled 51.3 million
Three seasons add up to 7.25 million euros.
Sounds a lot, doesn’t it? Ticket revenue alone can pay off Lazio’s debts, right?
Pattern Tucson breaking
Because including Lazio in all the Serie A clubs, they are not themselves!
It belongs to the local city government!
The ticket income belongs to the municipal government instead of the club, and then the money is distributed in proportion according to the contract signed by both parties.
But the big head must be the city government.
There is a data comparison that the ticket revenue of Premier League clubs accounts for 30% of their total income, while that of Italian clubs accounts for 11%. It is also unreasonable to exclude the fact that Serie A seating rate is lower than that of Premier League.
In addition to the ticket revenue to be drawn by the municipal government, the club has to pay the stadium rent, and the stadium maintenance and security are also paid by the club.
In addition, the management of stadium billboards is the final decision of the municipal government, and the income from this aspect is very small for Italian teams.
In terms of ticket revenue, Lazio earned more than 71 million euros in three years, but I’m afraid it won’t even be half of them in the end, which is about 35 million euros.
This is the sum of three seasons, and the average season is only over eleven million.
It’s really pitiful.
But it is not surprising that Italy has the highest ticket revenue. Inter Milan won the triple crown in 2921, and the ticket revenue was only 39 million euros, which is already the highest in Italy.
However, compared with other European giants, this figure is really pitiful. The best reference is that Manchester United and Arsenal earned 126 million euros and 100 million euros respectively, and both clubs have smaller stadiums than Inter Milan.
It is precisely because most of the ticket revenue has been given to the government that many Italian clubs have plans to build new stadiums, because only when the stadium is finished can the ticket revenue really become the main source of club income.
Chapter III Income and Expenditure of Lazio
Lazio can’t count on the ticket income, and Lazio can’t get much income from the stadium operation, and they have to keep paying for the maintenance of the stadium.
That’s why most Serie A stadiums are ruined. Even the football temple turf like the San Siro Stadium is ruined like a vegetable field.
There are 129 large football fields in Italy, but three of them can meet the international competition standards.
Poor Italy has not hosted an international competition for many years, and the poor stadium is one of the main reasons.
Because the stadium does not belong to the club itself, then the club has no motivation and reason to spend money to repair the stadium, which can gradually deteriorate year after year.
Even if the Italian Pisanu Act was introduced, the municipal government asked the club to repair the stadium club according to the act.
For example, Houdusse Club refused to pay for the reconstruction of the stadium, which led the Houdusse City Council to increase the rent of Friuli Stadium from 100,000 euros to 420,000 euros.
In terms of stadium income, Lazio only spent 19 million euros in three seasons.
……
Jersey chest advertising and jersey sponsors are also sources of income.
But in Lazio, this is not obvious.
Because these sponsors decide the amount of sponsorship according to the team’s performance.
Lazio’s achievements in previous years were not very good, so its sponsorship was very low in those years.
In the past three years, Puma has sponsored Lazio for 2 million euros a year, plus 1,000 sets of games and training. If this figure exceeds, Lazio clubs and players will have to pay for it themselves.
Although Lazio renewed the four-year jersey sponsorship contract with Puma in January this year, the sponsorship will reach 4 million euros per year, but the new contract will not take effect until the season.
