Don't buy into that FFP BS, b/c it is a mickey mouse rule.
A club does not need to balance it book in order to be fit into FFP.
One of the rule of the FFP is players salaries is only counted toward the FFP after tax. Thus say Milan pays 240mil a year before tax salaries to players, only 120mil is counted in the FFP. In another words, the club can be running a deficit of 120mil and still be okay.
Transfer fee is divided by the yrs of the players contract and not accounted completely toward the year.
What I am trying to say is, FFP is a joke and as long as the owners want to spend, they are free to do so.
