I think it's a financial issue, because teams in Italy are not as rich as teams at premier league or la liga, which means that the top are getting even bigger gap than the bottom. At premier league when you move from Championship to Premier league it is still not that easy to stay up, a lot of teams end up staying for a few years and then going down, but their lower level leagues are so competitive and loved that they still get millions of dollars, and when they win they get like hundreds of millions of dollars.
This is why I believe that the best thing for Italian teams is to build a young squad when they are at Serie B, that way they could get better as they go along, and if they go up, they are growing up, so they can stay better, older players may get success quickly, but won't keep it there.
Serie A teams will be far behind financially when compared to Premier League teams. Even so, the teams in Serie A are strong enough. Serie A teams qualify for the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League finals. Despite not having many star players in the squad, Serie A teams are performing well. Serie A teams should build squads with young players if they are not financially sound enough. Forming a squad with young players will make it difficult to keep the team's performance consistent. But if the coach is experienced, it is possible to form a strong squad with young players.
Lol, La Liga only has Real Madrid and Barcelona as the richest team and after all, Premier League teams are the best when it comes to finances. Also, I am surprised when you say Serie A teams are without a lot of star players because after all, teams like Inter, Juventus, Milan and also Roma have a lot of star players and maybe there are other teams too. So, I don't agree with your statement and also, young and old players are always in every team and in fact, Real Madrid still relied on old players last season too.
in my opinion, in the past, serie A was also in the race to bring the best players in the world, there were players like ronaldo, luis figo, adriano, kaka, milan was a team with many famous players, but today the series has few players popular, see that he talked about players like haaland, mbappe, there are always rumors of these players going to the league, but there are no rumors of these players going to serie A, even before haaland went to city there were no rumors about him going for the A series, and as if the A series didn't even exist anymore.
look at how many expensive players are going to Serie A, there are very few of them and when I talk about expensive players, I'm talking about very expensive players, I don't know what budget each Serie A team has, but in my opinion in the last few Serie A teams have not been able to bring great players for some time, Roma and Juventus have brought players who are already free on the market, Inter and Milan and Napoli also do not see big signings. despite the fact that italian teams have come far in european competitions, i still think they should invest more in good signings
