One more year, one more season and one more transfer market, the League of Javier Tebas has once again been beaten compared to the major leagues of European football. Not only has it ceased to compete with the Premier Leaguefor example, but now, in terms of balance (income minus expenses), it is at the level of second and third category leagues like the Mexican, Russian or Turkish. Almost nothing.
Clubs have once again shown great difficulty in recruiting great players, retaining young (and not young) talents and even being able to register their players. With the summer transfer market closing this Friday, August 30 at 23:59, the League has again gone virtually unnoticed, while the Premier League He once again took over the big signings with the highest monetary amount.
The English, once again, were the ones who spent the most in this transfer market with more than 2 billion euros invested. Then follows the Series Awhich has done a sensational job in this sector this year and has spent exactly 1 billion euros, with the Juventus, Naples and he Milan as the main agitators of the league. Next comes the French League, closing the top 3 with an expenditure of 723 million euros. The Bundesliga It follows in its wake, ranking fourth with an expenditure of 596 million, while it is the Spanish League of Javier Tebas the one who spent the least of the five major leagues with 555 million euros.
And the clubs have suffered, once again, the drowning that they suffer in financial and economic matters. Many of them, not only Barcelona, like Betis or SevilleTwo clubs that were at the top of the table a few years ago were forced to do without important chips because they did not have the capacity to recruit others. The clear example is that of Nabil Fekir or that of Lucas Ocampos.
The League is compared to Mexico or Russia
Once the classification of expenditure in transfers is exposed, where League of Javier Tebasas we mentioned, is at the bottom of the five major competitions (Premier League, Ligue 1, Bundesliga and Serie A)It is time to talk about the leagues with which it is compared. In terms of balance sheet, we repeat (income minus expenses), the League is ranked 12th in the world, with a net expense of -13 million euros. The clubs have spent 555 million euros and they were sold for a value of 542. The Mexican league has a balance of -24 million euros, that of Russia of -40 and that of Turkey of -49.
This means that Spanish clubs have spent little, but have been forced to sell dearly and give up important players. And let’s talk about names. João Félix at Chelsea worth 52 million euros, Artem Dovbyk in Rome for 30.5 million or Mamardashvili to Liverpool for 30, although this one will only wear red next season. Jorgensenof the Villarreal went to Chelsea, En Nesyri at Fenerbahce or Aleix Garcia at Leverkusen.
As you can see, the best players from mid-table teams have left their clubs due to their urgent need to make money. Villarreal has lost one of the best goalkeepers in the League, Sevilla has its best player, Girona has its two best men… And this has happened in recent seasons.
