To add: €3.5M from Bologna for Ibrahima Mbaye; €2.6M from Sampdoria for Alfred Duncan; €0.4M from Sturm Graz for Lukas Spendlhofer; €0.2M from Alessandria for Riccardo Bocalon. Nothing was paid by Sampdoria for Matías Silvestre, since his agreement with Inter was terminated and he joined on a free transfer. Sunderland owes Inter €11M for Ricky Álvarez, but the case has to be discussed at FIFA, as both teams recurred on appeal. On winter they also received €3.7 from Estudiantes for Álvaro Pereira.

Total income: €104.1 million

Total expenditure: Increase €18.85 million
