Chapter 1089 The Crazy Age(2/2)
According to current UEFA statistics, two teams have invested more than 200 million euros in the transfer market this summer, both from Ligue 1, namely Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco.
Among them, Paris Saint-Germain has more money than Monaco, which is just over 200 million euros.
This makes it stand out from the crowd.
Because most of the remaining teams are worth around 100 million euros.
But one thing is worth noting, that is, a total of seven teams have invested more than 100 million this summer, including Real Madrid and Arsenal. The Gunners mainly introduced Icardi, but also signed in several other positions.
Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League has also invested a lot of money. They ranked fifth last season and want to make a run at the Champions League.
This is actually the norm.
Like Tottenham, if they want to break into the Champions League, they often need to work harder and invest more.
Therefore, Tottenham also invested over 100 million this summer, but after deducting the income of players such as Dzeko, Tottenham’s net investment is not outrageous.
In Serie A, Napoli also invested over 100 million, mainly because of the introduction of Higuain and Alan.
On the contrary, Barcelona only introduced one Neymar, and Neymar's transfer fee has always been questionable.
Manchester United only spent 34 million euros. This is no longer a question of whether there is money to invest, but a problem with Manchester United's management's operational capabilities.
Obviously, the Red Devils' lineup is in serious need of fresh blood, but Manchester United didn't work, which surprised many people.
In terms of total league investment, the Premier League has the largest investment, exceeding 750 million euros, which is nearly twice the 380 million euros of La Liga in second place.
However, the Premier League also has a lot of transfer revenue, reaching 500 million, of which 300 million is contributed by Leeds United.
Of course, no one will discuss how Leeds United makes money in front of Gao Shen and Pochettino. What they are more concerned about is that the transfer value of players has increased significantly compared with before, and the overall annual salary of players has also increased.
Many people believe that the money-burning craze in European football has become more intense.
In the cruel environment of the financial crisis, transfer investment and player annual salaries have intensified. This is abnormal, and UEFA needs to step in to properly curb this trend.
At the same time, we also need to pay attention to the financial status of teams such as Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco. Otherwise, it will be unfair to other hard-working teams.
Regarding this, Gao Shen did not express any opinions because he knew that no one would listen.
The reality will be more cruel.
Because in the future, there will be more and more teams like Paris, Monaco and Manchester City, especially in the Premier League.
It was a crazy era when any young player could easily exceed 100 million.
