Lo Monaco stated that if the Etnei avoid relegation this year, they will invest a record 10 million Euros into the transfer market, a rather significant increase from the 2 million Euro budget at the beginning of this term. The increase is due to a surprise increase in profits, mainly due to TV rights.
