4 CURATED CAREERS
Choose your starting distance from the summit
Como is the immediate European test: a debut Champions League season creates a need for depth without losing the combinations that earned qualification. Parma offers a return to the kind of continental nights remembered from the 1990s. Palermo is a longer identity-led project, while Sampdoria brings the weight of a former champion in the second tier.
For a promotion save, make the first-team wage plan survive the step up. For a European save, plan the second match of the week before buying another headline starter. Check existing loans, contract obligations, and the exact starting competition before setting a timetable.
Club history and current premises are sourced in each linked dossier. FM27 squads, budgets, and registration details still require in-game verification.
