The Italian newspaper, “Toto Sport”, revealed the final list of the clubs involved in the capital gains issue, led by Juventus, Barcelona and Manchester City.

The list includes five clubs from the Italian Serie A: Juventus, Napoli, Genoa, Sampdoria and Empoli.

Besides two clubs in the Italian second division, Parma and Pisa, two clubs from the third division, and one team from the fourth division.

While Manchester City and Barcelona top the list of clubs outside Italy, which includes seven clubs.

In addition to City and Barcelona, ​​there are three clubs from France, Marseille, Amiens and Lille, and two teams from Switzerland, Basel and Lugano.
