Inter Milan could record a capital gain of €36 million if they sell Valentin Carboni to Marseille permanently.
This according to Italian outlet Calcio e Finanza. They note that the Nerazzurri would record a transfer fee for the Argentine as essentially pure capital gains.
Now it’s official. Carboni will be a Marseille player next season.
The teenager is not joining the Ligue 1 club on a permanent basis. Rather, they arse signing him on a season-long loan deal.
It is a €1 million paid loan. And then there is also a purchase option, with Marseille able to sign Carboni on a permanent basis next summer for €36 million.
Meanwhile, Inter would have a buyback option on Carboni. If Marseille sign him for €36 million next summer then the Nerazzurri would be able to sign him right back for a fee of €40 million.
The 19-year-old has clearly been the priority for newly-appointed Marseille coach Roberto De Zerbi.
The former Sassuolo, Shakhtar Donetsk, and Brighton and Hove Albion boss has taken over at the Velodrome this summer. And Carboni is a player he has identified as perfect for his new project.
Then, for his part, Carboni himself has reportedly been convinced by De Zerbi’s project.
The Argentine has pushed for the move to Marseille as the right next step for him in senior football.
Inter Could Record €36M Capital Gain From Selling Valentin Carboni To Marseille Next Summer
As Calcio e Finanza note, if Marseille do sign Carboni permanently next summer, then Inter would record a very large capital gain.
The Nerazzurri signed the Argentine in 2020 from Catania.
They did so for a fee of around €227,000.
That means that Correa is amortized for around €67,000 in Inter’s current set of accounts.
And then by the time next summer rolls around Correa will be amortized for €54,000.
That means that, if Inter are to receive a fee of €36 million next summer for Correa, it will all be capital gains minus that €54,000 amount.
