Purchasing Power of Premier League Clubs Rated to be Decreasing

DBasia.news –  Former Liverpool Sports Director and Tottenham Hotspur Damien Comolli have their own concerns regarding the impact of the Corona virus pandemic especially on player transfers.

Concern is that the purchasing power of English clubs when the corona has begun to subside and football resumed. The summer transfer window was supposed to take place after the season ended and headed for the new season.

However, due to this special situation due to the corona virus, European leagues and competitions did not continue the 2019-20 season. There is no certainty also when the league will return to rolling because the plague is still spreading in the world.

The impact of the corona virus has an impact on the financials of clubs that do not have income from stadium ticket sales, merchandise, and television rights. Selling mainstay players and cutting player salaries is the solution for him.

It is feared that Comolli will have an impact on the purchasing power of clubs in the transfer market. After talking to one of the European players’ agents, Comolli assessed that there are only three Premier League clubs that can buy players in the transfer market next summer. The rest can be using a loan scheme.

“One day the agent told me that there are really only three clubs in the Premier League who can spend money next summer in the player transfer window,” Comolli told Sky Sports.

“I don’t know if this is true, but usually when agents tell you things like this, they usually get information.”

“We might see very little transfer activity, we might see player exchanges, we might see loans and I think we will see a big reduction in transfer costs and transfer activities, at least transfers involving money.”

“The longer this crisis lasts, the more clubs will be in financially difficult situations. The first thing that will be affected is player remuneration, the second is transfer fees,” Comolli said.

Although not mentioning in detail of the three clubs, the club allegedly referred to are Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United. Three clubs with qualified financial strength.
