There is nothing scarier than realizing that Atlético were in debt of R$1.571 billion at the end of last year. The column learned from a source that Gallo spent nearly R$192 million on debt interest alone during the 2022 season.
The sports leadership presented this figure to the directors of all departments at a meeting this week. Important: R$192 million divided by 12 months for 2022 equals a monthly cost of R$16 million.
That is, Gallo only spent the interest on his debt something close to the payroll, including the athletes and the technical committee of the entire professional soccer team – the cost last year with the division was R$20m / month.
4Rs calculated much smaller numbers for the cost of debt. The estimate was an expense of about R$8 million per month plus interest.
Paying off debts has been Atlético’s major drama of late. Since 2019, the club has disbursed R$200 million through FIFA operations, R$100 million with businessmen, R$80 million with suppliers and R$60 million for labor debts.
