European football clubs have spent tens of billions of euros on signing new players since transfer spending took off twenty years ago. The mega-money deals continued this season, with clubs from the Big Five leagues setting a new transfer spending record. And while clubs pay eye-popping figures to freshen up their playing squad, selling players isn’t the most lucrative revenue stream.<\/p>\n

According to data presented by CasinosEnLigne.com<\/a>, clubs from Europe’s Big Five leagues spent \u20ac46.7bn on transfers in the past decade, or \u20ac12.3bn more than they earned through player sales.<\/p>\n

Clubs Spend Billions of Euros on Signing New Players While in Debt<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It has become common for Europe’s top-flight clubs to splash the cash when signing new players. But the transfer market for the 2022\/23 season has been crazy, bringing more than a few mega deals with hefty price tags. According to TransferMarkt data, Europe’s Big Five leagues collectively spent over \u20ac5.7bn on transfers this season, or 47% more than in football season 2021\/22.<\/p>\n

This fact is even more shocking when knowing that most football clubs, except a few with state-funded owners from the Middle East, are actually in debt. Still, they spend hundreds of millions of euros on transfer deals because their debt is guaranteed against future sponsorships and broadcast revenue. But when it comes to transfer balance, the truth is clubs spend far more money on signing new players than they earn from selling them.<\/p>\n
