The sleeping giant is ready to shake itself up and never stop.
After five seasons of failed attempts to return to the Champions League, the Friedkins have finally achieved their goal and are preparing for a great season.
They want to make the Giallorossi club financially independent, emerging from a state of constant emergency.
One of the first steps being explored with accountant Jason Morrow concerns cutting the wage bill.
Roma finished the season with €140 million in gross salary for the squad, a threshold higher than the Friedkins would like to reach.
As Corriere dello Sport reports, they intend to reach around €100 million and possibly even lower, as in 2011-12 (€94.7 million), i.e., before the arrival of Di Benedetto and Pallotta.
Roma will continue to invest, but will do so rationally and by cutting costs deemed unnecessary. The focus remains on young, highly talented players under 24, as they generally don’t command astronomical sums.
The Friekdins have set a salary cap: €4.5 million net, a limit no one can exceed. This is further confirmed by the upcoming renewals for Dybala, Pellegrini, Celik, Cristante, and Mancini.
