Juventus general manager Fabio Paratici and veteran agent Giovanni Branchini weighed in on what the transfer market might look like post-pandemic. The latter said we wouldn't see many top players moving because, with such a liquidity crisis in football, most were going to wait a season for the market to recover before selling their prized assets. The former opined that we'd see more loan deals because, as he sees it, "If you can't afford to buy, you rent."
Branchini is right in the sense that while a major move might cause a trickle down in the market, clubs will be shell-shocked and mired in uncertainty. And, in those circumstances, you tend to be conservative.
Meanwhile, Paratici's point is an interesting one, predicated on the fact that you still need players. A loan might be a chance to get a high earner off your books while giving him a shop window that allows you to cash in 12 months later.
