Juventus GM Marotta: English clubs can make crazy purchases

Juventus GM Beppe Marotta admits the transfer market is now "uncontrollable".

Marotta was reacting to super agent Mino Raiola's claims that there'll soon be a €200 million transfer.

He told JTV: "The figures in recent years have increased so illogically. Revenues have increased for clubs in different countries. There was also an increase in salaries.

"It is an uncontrollable market, there are nations like England who have the power to make crazy purchases."

On Juve's January plans, Marotta added: "Hopefully I will not buy anyone. It would mean that everything went well. In January we can take opportunities although it has not always happened."
