Has The Premier League BROKEN The Transfer Market?

This summer, newly-promoted Nottingham Forest have had a higher net spend than every La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, and Ligue 1 team combined, and the Premier League as a whole has outspent its nearest competitors, La Liga, by a ratio of 8:1.
Not only can clubs outside of the Premier League no longer compete with the division's spending power, many leagues are now dependent upon Premier League teams signing their best players for huge transfer fees just to remain competitive.
So in light of the recent signings of Casemiro by Manchester United and Alexander Isak by Newcastle United, HITC Sevens takes a look at the finances of the Premier League compared with Europe's other top leagues, the growing disparity between them, and asks the question as to whether the top flight of English football has finally broken the transfer market.

I guess at this point it depends on the player's mentality and point of view, sure, playing in the EPL guarantees big wages and good money, but... in the Leeds example, CDK would had played in a team that the best it can aspire is to a middle table position or Conference League spot, sure, he would won more cash, but it will drop his levels in competition considering that Bruges is already playing the Champions League and it is the Belgium champion, the same thing goes to Milan who is playing Champions League and is the current Italian champion.

Serie A hardly only has big 3, but "Seven sisters" Consists of: Milan, Inter, Juve, Roma, Lazio, Fiorentina, Napoli. Lazio and Napoli, Roma have also been challenging for titles, and Atalanta and sassuolo have been exciting. The dynamics of these clubs positions and tactics changes from year to year. Personally i find it way more interesting than the Premier League. However just how well the prem's marketing has been, combining with just the fact that English is the most widely spoken language in the world, competitiveness is hardly a big deciding factor at all.

Good video which was clearly, as ever for HITC Sevens, well researched and even handed. However I disagree totally that the teams who finish at or near the bottom of the EPL, despite the inflated salaries handed to their transient migrant players, would finish mid table in Spain or Germany. Bournemouth, Norwich, Fulham, Watford, West Brom and Sheff Utd et al, would be battered most weeks in both leagues and likely battle against relegation. > 66% of all the players in the EPL are foreign players but apart from the elite types who end up at Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd and Spurs, the remainder are carpetbaggers who only serve to block young indigenous talent from breaking through.

I think it is really showing how clubs from other countries are unable to turn down offers from Premier League clubs for certain players as they can't risk losing out on turning a huge profit, more so than they would through selling players to other leagues for the most part. Take Ajax who potentially will make more money selling two players to Manchester United than they did all of last season. It will get to the point where even leagues outside the top 5 will struggle to ever hold on to a decent player effecting them long term in performing well in Europe. Even teams that get relegated from the Premier League and bounce between that and the Championship will financially be better off than most of the bigger teams in Europe.

The thing that we often forget is the the Premier League is mostly Ebglish speaking and English becoming everyone's second language (at least in Europe, East Asia, and the Gulf States) means that the people who have the money to support teams financially eventually end up in England. If you have to learn German to properly follow Dortmund, you probably wouldn't do it even if learning the language might come in handy outside of football, but if you learned English for 10 years in school and the majority of media you consume is in English, consuming football in English isn't even a stretch. Yes, every big club and league also has English social media accounts and English speaking players, but that's not the same as watching Salah's interviews without a translator. If we had all this 100 or 200 years ago, French football would have a lot more followers.

Unfortunately, in England finishing anything up to 8th or 10th place will give a team more prize money than winning the Europa league, including the money from the Champions League qualification. As such, they focus on the league with the hopes of breaking in the top 4, like Leicester. Thus, they both get huge prize money for their spot in the league and Champions league qualification. You also have to keep in mind that there is a lot more traveling involved in the Europa League - players have less time to rest and the club spends a lot more money on traveling costs.

In England I'd lean more towards City's constant £40-60m buys a while back doing it, PSG's 368 million on those two is crazy but they're exceptional circumstances. 2 huge signings like Mbappe/Neymar aren't really going to affect the market as a whole when you know players + price tags like those aren't going to come along often, but when clubs see another club constantly happy to pay a particular price for pretty much everyone they buy that is more likely to inflate the price of the average deal.

That is one team in one league and the top team at that. Not one other League can say they have teams getting promoted to the top league and then all have the ability to spend large sums of money. When teams like that can out spend the vast majority of teams in Europe you know there is an issue that will only financially benefit one League in the future. The longer teams stay in the Premier League more even mid table teams will be on par with the biggest clubs in other countries financially even if they don't play in a European competition.

Except Villarreal and Frankfurt had to have finished in the top 6 minimum to have even been in the competition in the first place, i.e. not mid-table (cup wins obviously get them there as well, but both countries almost always have the same few teams winning them, just like any other league). They're not mid-table teams in the slightest, but only dropped in the league due to putting so much effort into winning the EL (Villarreal only dropped to 7th, so still not really mid-table). If Palace, an actual mid-table team, had a surprising season and finished in the EL places, and then decided to focus mostly on their EL campaign the following season, they would be at real risk of relegation because of the fierce competition around them in the league. Frankfurt and Villarreal, the latter especially, don't have that worry of relegation if they focus on Europe, because they're not mid-table teams. The German and Spanish equivalents to Palace winning the EL would be FSV Mainz and Rayo Vallecano.

The 1992 break away from the EFL was done to make money.. not improve football. UEFA did the same when they changed the European Cup in 1998 to include non league winners.. in a bid to get as many Popular teams in the UCL as possible for TV Ratings. The further influx of oil money into the English game has fast tracked us to this point.. PSG showed the way.. and now you have a market where Gordon is worth 60M, Isak is 58M... Gibbs White is 45M. Football has never been less balanced than right now. The days of Nottingham Forest winning back to back UCLs 2 yrs after promotion are gone. It has also become impossible to build a successful team from academy since rich clubs will hoover up all the talent of a poorer club that got it right. I personally don't watch EPL any longer.. 3 oil clubs fighting for supremacy is not appealing. The SOUL and Spirit of football was sold off long ago and maybe the European Super league wasn't really as bad we thought.

It's maybe why in recent seasons we have seen young english players going abroad, do you think the likes of Sancho, Tomori and Bellingham would have become half the players they were if they'd slogged it out trying to eek out 1-0 wins to survive at some mid table side.

When a club, I never even heard of, can do that, just imagine what it will be like in a few years as the gap will only widen.

Football is in the worst state it has ever been. It is impossible for smaller teams to compete with the Premier League and the other footballing giants like PSG, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Unless UEFA or FIFA step in and properly introduce and enforce spending limits and wage limits, football as we know it will die. If nothing changes in the next 10 years, no team outside the top 10 will have a chance at winning any European trophy. Football has always been for the fans, but now it is only the select few who hold any real power. Soon every premier team will be bought up by some oil conglomerate or another industrial giant, until all the talent in world football is concentrated into one league. UEFA and FIFA are a complete and utter joke, they do nothing to stop this because it makes them richer too. Football fans around the world need to come together and ask for change because without the fans, the owners won't make any money and will be forced to change. The issue is that enough fans want it this way, the delusional fans of the premier league and other giant teams don't want to end their eras of dominance, and they are also partly to blame for the sports downfall. Enough said, I think we just need to call for change, it worked for the super league, it can work for this too.

I've always thought about this. For a long time the Premier League has functioned to hoover up talent from all over the world. The only thing that's English about the league is the fans... well, the local fans in the stadium. Most of the viewers are foreign too, they just pick one of the top 6 to support because the league is the most entertaining because there's so many foreign players which creates a kind of feedback loop. If anything, it's probably in part created interest in countries that didn't have it, but the Premier league is basically like a Super League: cosmopolitan, ruthlessly capitalist, sucking up talent from lesser teams and leagues. To the average viewer, most teams are completely interchangeable except for the top ones. Samir from Egypt doesn't start to watch the Prem because he's invested in English culture, he wants to see the best player from his country rip up defenses for the team he now supports because, well, Salah plays for them. Which doesn't make this hypothetical person bad, I'm just saying.

Well this exactly what happened to a continental scale during the 1980's. South American leagues were as good as the European, specialyl the Argentinian, Uruguayan, Colombian and Brasilian leagues, but during the 1990's multiple internal and external factors made South American football fall, and ever since it has become just a feeder continent to Europe top 5 leagues. To me this whole issue just points to one of the problems of neoliberalism which is the extreme concentration of wealth, to the point even among the wealthy clubs there's a growing gap.

I was hoping for a quick look at how the club coefficients of Premier League clubs have moved around in comparison with other leagues. This will have real significance in coming years, since the changes to UEFA Champions League qualification grants two qualifying spots to teams that rank the highest on that continental table without qualifying outright. With the Big 6 of the Prem being where they are, all six of them are almost guaranteed a spot in any given year as long as they can all make the top 7 in the Prem. Beyond that, however, I'm curious to see how the larger picture has changed over time and where that might be headed. That could be something to keep an eye on.

If you look at the Bundesliga for example, you see that there really are only 3 teams that you can be sure about will reach a top 4 finish, same with LaLiga. And the serie a has avery much the same hierarchy as the premier league since this year eg. you don't even have a favourite to win the league. Sure the unfair distribution in those leagues play a part in why they are not so attractive, but the reason for european unbalance mainly lies in the PL itself

As a non British I actually admire the Premier League fairer distribution of tv rights money. Even if the big monster teams run away with the title in the end, it's no different to most European leagues atm. And honestly the Premier League may be the only league where you can watch a game between the 17th and 18th ranked teams every week and it be more enjoyable that the big teams matches consistently. In Italy and Spain tv rights distribution is so bad even team that do well in Europe like Sevilla and Atalanta eventually fade rather than build on their success, since all the big teams take their players away, many times just keeping them as benchwarmers.

They also reached two Champions League semi-finals in 2006 and 2022.

If injury-prone and/or uncohesive, the English side would be fighting for relegation.

Stupid transfer fees have been around forever.

Bear in mind Bristol City were a 3rd tier side at the time, and the player was himself a part timer, who was also a maths teacher. He's actually a player a video would be worth making about. 5 goals in 6 games for England, He was never booked or sent off in over 600 games and only Dixie Dean and George Camsell have scored more goals at one club.

Lets be real United won 13 out of 21 titles and never finished below 2nd until Chelsea in 05. Man City now are basically what United were. The Prem is rarely exciting by season end unless you are a fan of certain clubs. The prem alone isn't responsible for high transfer values it's just more able to meet high tranfer values because of how they branded and marketed themselves
