It can be difficult to make money owning an Italian soccer team because the business is not very profitable: High costs
The top talent in soccer can cost hundreds of millions of euros. In the 2018-19 season, the average Serie A team lost 13.8 million euros and had 216 million euros in debt.
Financial challenges
Football clubs are often reliant on cash from their owners to operate. European clubs need to spend to keep up with their competitors, which can make it difficult to avoid relegation.
Lack of private equity investment
Serie A lacks private equity investment at the league level, which could be a growth area for US investors.
However, there are some opportunities for making money in soccer, including:
Controlling costs: US investors can make money by cutting costs.
Buying in at a lower division: If a club can win promotion and remain in the Premier League, the value can increase significantly.
Leveraging the club's popularity: Club owners can use the club's popularity to market their own businesses.
Other opportunities in the Italian soccer business include:
Digital services, such as AI and blockchain data management
Sports marketing and merchandising
Fan-base management
Stadium development and design

LMAO...acquired 50% of a struggling Italian soccer team that plays in a dilapidated old stadium "Stadio Comunale in Sanremo." The club was founded in 1904 has apparently gone thru repeated bankruptcies, liquidations, arrests of management. The town has a population of 55,000. They compete in 2nd and 3rd tier leagues.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSD_Sanremese_Calcio
They're hoping to raise $500k for "youth football sports." The condition of their stadium speaks volumes. Their current one has a max capacity of 4,000 but can only seat 1,200. Plans to build a new "arena" --in which this football club will supposedly play in one day but not own-- seem rather far fetched. Aside from the cost, this new "Sanremo Arena in Liguria" is nearly TWO HOURS EAST of their current location! Google directions form Sanremo to Liguria. It's one lane each way along a winding coast line. Worse still, Liguria is home to the Genoa football club which competes in the Series A, the top division of the Italian football league system.
