According to a report by the online portal “transfermarkt.de“No club in the Bundesliga has accumulated such a large transfer deficit since the 2016/17 season as RB Leipzig. At that time, the Saxons rose to the German upper house on a second attempt seven years after their founding. Income of 147.39 million euros is offset by expenses of almost 284.58 million euros. Makes a deficit of 137.19 million euros. The reason: In the past four years, the Bundesliga fourth never invested less than 60 million per season in new players. With Naby Keita, who moved to Liverpool in 2018 for 60 million, only one high performer was sold for a handsome sum.

This summer, lower spending is expected due to the financial effects of the Corona crisis. Through the eventual sale of Timo Werner or Dayot Upamecano, RB could even generate a significant transfer surplus.

Borussia Dortmund generated the largest transfer increase since 2016 with 116.72 million euros. Although BVB clearly leads the league with total expenditures of almost 500 million, the Westphalians also earned 611.65 million euros through player sales (also number one). TSG Hoffenheim (82.08), VfB Stuttgart (29.34), Mainz 05 (27.35) and Eintracht Frankfurt (24.22) also made significant gains through player sales.

In terms of investments, Bayern Munich and RB were well behind BVB with 340 million and 284 million euros, respectively, in second and third place in the Bundesliga. The surprisingly large expenditure gap between the record champions and Dortmund is due, among other things, to the unequal fluctuation in the squad. While Lucien Favre’s team has booked 67 additions since the summer of 2016, the Munich team only 39.

In an international comparison, the Bundesliga clubs are doing rather solidly. The largest transfer deficit since 2016/17 have accumulated Manchester City (534.11 million euros), Manchester United (484.82), FC Barcelona (374.10) and Paris St. Germain (366.4). RB is in 19th place, Bavaria in 22nd place. According to the financial fair play regulations of the European Football Association UEFA, clubs participating in European club competitions should only spend as much money over an evaluation period as they earn through player sales, TV rights and sponsorships. However, deficits of up to 30 million euros can be offset by an investor or private financier. In the wake of the Corona crisis, UEFA relaxed the regulations a little.
