Work in offices is always subject to the portfolio. The more money, the more signatories. Although that doesn’t mean the signings are any better, as grass dictates that, and the set amount isn’t paid either.
And this is confirmed by a study by the International Center for Sports Studies (CIES) which indicates that, in the last ten years, the real Madrid He paid 148 million more for his signings. In other words, in the 19 signings he made in all this time, he spent more than a hundred million more than what these players actually spend.
And for the sample, the last ‘button’: Tchouameni. The Frenchman, wanted by half of Europe, signed for the white team in exchange for 80 million (including variables) when his real market value was 60 million. Claims from the selling club, from agents and offers from other clubs mainly come in so that the offer rises above the bid.
Barcelona paid less
And in contrast, there is the FC Barcelona that he paid less all this time for his signings according to CIES and did it for a total of 48 million less than it should have been. The numbers, therefore, say that the Blaugrana team is ahead of the market in some cases and knows how to sign some players below the figure that marks their market value.
In this case, the strategy to follow is to wait for the players to fulfill their contract with the club and agree to leave at zero cost (Cases of Cassie either Christiansen) or that their desire to leave the club they are in is such that they will ultimately reduce costs, as was the case in Lewandowski.
United, a waste
Also, topping the list in Europe is the Man Utd that he paid during this period 238 million of what he really needed in absolute value to sign the players he signed.
A fact that, in addition, saw what the English team achieved in sports, does not invite us to think that things are managed well from the offices. The podium was closed by Juventus with a value of 233 million more than expected and the PSG with 162 million extra spending on transfers.
