Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici, like Inter chief executive Giuseppe ‘Beppe’ Marotta, has shared his belief that the upcoming Summer transfer window will be a little different compared to usual.
Marotta revealed that he is expecting it to be a poorer quality transfer market due to the ongoing global Coronavirus pandemic and believes that there will be more swap deals conducted between clubs.
In an interview with Turin based newspaper Tuttosport, which appeared in today’s print edition, Paratici has echoed Marotta’s views and suggested it could be very much similar to the way transfers are dealt with in the NBA, where all deals are done via trades and there is a bigger focus on free agency.
“There will be many swap deals, a situation that will bring football closer to the NBA. It is likely that some clubs, for example in Germany, will benefit from the general crisis situation due to a stronger underlying economy than others,” Paratici, who has been the Bianconeri’s sporting director for the past decade, explained.
A number of potential swap deals have already been speculated about in the media with reports suggesting both Inter and Juventus could do swap deals with clubs in the coming months.
