Premier League champion Manchester United has spent £ 210m more on player acquisition, making it the first of five major leagues, according to the analysis report from the football website CIES.
Since July 2012, Manchester United have spent a total of £ 1.4bn to buy 33 players, including the world record transfer fee of £ 89m in 2016, to French midfielder Paul Puba; and in recent years, £ 85 million captain and backbone of the team, Haley Maguni, and this summer signed Brazilian winger Anthony Mafios from Ajax for £ 80 million, the highest value. In the “Buy Expensive” ranking, among the top ten there are also four other Premier League clubs, Aston Villa, Chelus, Arsenal and Everton; Among the 44 players hired in the last 10 years, Jens and Ryan Baini, paid a total of 130 million pounds, fourth place, followed by Manchester United, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain. Of the 36 clubs that have entered the Premier League over the past 10 years, only 3 fall short of their ratings in terms of player purchases, so the Premier League is accused of being the “culprit” in the expensive player market.
Horse experience and Barcelona become “smart eyes”
In contrast, La Liga’s two biggest clubs, Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona, are accused of being the five ‘smart-eyed’ major league teams, including Barcelona spent a total of £ 1.29 billion on last 10 years, but the total value of the recruits at that time is expected to be 1.32 billion pounds. As for the Premier League, the Wolves have the most unique vision and it is estimated that they will ‘earn’ £ 18 million in terms of player market value. CIES data analysis is to exclude players from buying and selling contracts and to use its scientific data analysis to get the above market value report.
