Former Inter Milan striker Ronaldo de Lima has delivered a verdict on investing in Serie A clubs even though Juventus and others are experiencing financial difficulties.
The former striker owns Real Valladolid in La Liga and Cruzeiro in Brazil and could be considering an investment in Serie A.
Juve have struggled financially in recent seasons but remain the biggest club in the Italian top flight.
Some other teams in the division have also struggled with money and the competition is not as attractive to investors as the Premier League.
However, Ronaldo insists that the struggle of these teams does not mean that investing in the Italian top flight is bad.
He said, as quoted by Tuttomercatoweb:
“It is true that the football industry has improved a lot all over the world, but Italy has the best quality: passion. People are in love with football and that is the most important thing. Now I see that there are many foreign investors. It is true that Juventus, Milan and Inter have financial difficulties, but I think that in Italy there is incredible potential, and I think that things can improve quickly: those who invest in Italy today get clubs at an exceptional price and their value will grow enormously. .”
Juve FC says
Series A hasn’t been as attractive to investors as we would have liked lately and most fans know it.
However, as a canny businessman, Ronaldo is likely to find value even in ruins.
