State clubs threaten world football: This is the TOP-10 of those who spent the most

The European market move drew the curtain this past September 1 at 11:59 pm on the last intense day where essential operations were closed. Without going any further Chief Muani signed for him paris saint germain on the horn in exchange for 95 million euros.

When the transfer window closes, the conclusions for European football and especially for the clubs are already worrying. Saudi Arabia’s irruption has confirmed the fears many have had about state clubswhich has gradually taken over football since entering the PSG (Qatar) and Manchester City (United Arab Emirates) but now they have turned that feeling into reality. Be the newcastlealso from Saudi Arabia, which remained in 12th position among those who spent the most.

If things continue like this, for lifelong clubs, run by private entities or their members, it will be impossible for them to compete with the millions who have arrived from the Middle East unless the FIFA try to put some sort of more realistic limit. And that started as a mockery when Cristiano Ronaldo transferred to Al Nasr in the summer, it has become a trend this summer with many cracks (Benzema, Mané, Neymar…) who packed their bags to compete in that league in exchange for completely unattainable contracts here in Europe.

You only have to look at the statistics to see that the problem is real and that, if no solution is found, it will be inevitable. He TOP-10 of the clubs that have spent the most in this transfer market It is divided between 5 clubs with an owner or company behind it, and another 5 known as state clubs because Al-Hilal (2nd), Al-Ahli (8th) and Al- Nassr (10th) entered. into the equation thanks to the money the Saudi Arabian state is putting into its coffers to re-evaluate the competition.

The worst case in the matter of Saudi clubs is that they don’t spend what they generate. Furthermore, its balance is a complete disaster as the club with the most sales is the Al-Hilal, who earned just over 1 million, for the 353 ‘kilos’ he spent. An unworkable and unfair situation as far as Europe is concerned, which already had big problems with Manchester City and PSG running wild now find themselves powerless in the face of the millionaire power of Saudi Arabia.

Only the Premier League has a pulse

It is no secret that in this market only a competition like the Premier League has been able to keep up with the clubs.

It is for this reason that the concern only increases. To find the first Spanish team, you have to go down to the 15th position, where a Real Madrid decided to reserve itself and spend only 129 million, most of it in Bellingham. But this is really the only thing that can be done, because next on the list is Almería, with Saudi owners, who left 52 million (45th position). And it is that Barça has only invested 3.4, which was spent on Oriol Romeu (224th), and Atlético de Madrid remained at 33.7 (62nd).
