I honestly think there needs to be an actual breakdown of this EPL money and what is holding back Milan... I went... extreme here. But a few notes:
Leao's lawsuit is the biggest factor in whatever he does next--it's weird to me that it is one of the most under-covered stories while people try and create a drama out of him extending or not. Also: he has two years left on his deal, as does Bennacer, people act like he's on the cusp of leaving for free, this window. But his lawsuit directly concerns how much money he makes. I've talked about this a lot, so I'll stop.
But let's compare revenues, because much is made of EPL revenue, until you look at it, for real, for real:
In sum: we need to build a stadium and participate in the CL consistently (and advanced) so that we can make more broadcast revenue, as CL money allows you to increase your sponsorship money (we have CL bonuses), stadium income, and match EPL broadcast money--as the numbers illustrate clearly.
