WINTER 2015 TRANSFER WINDOW TOP 5 EUROPEAN LEAGUES

6

UEFA’s Financial Fair Play completed first 3 year analysis cycle and is deeply established as a regulation that teams observe cautiously

Some leagues have implemented additional and strict financial control on the teams (ie Premier League and La Liga) which translate in reduced margin of manoeuvre at clubs management

Winter transfers activity follows a summer window which showed highest investments ever in Premier League (1,028mio€), La Liga (500) and Bundesliga (274) to a 2,2bio€ record combined investment at top 5 European leagues

FC Barcelona had no activity due to FIFA ban. Not being able to sign translated into avoiding any player exits

French Ligue 1 loses it glamour and power as a result of Financial Fair Play sanctions on PSG and reduced investment by Monaco owners

New Asian shareholders at Atletico and Valencia revitalise La Liga investment power and helps to dilute strength of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona duo

Great Britain pound increased its value vs Euro in 10% compared to last year’s summer transfer window

Despite Financial Fair Play restrictions, winter transfers investment in Europe has still grown 34% to 385mio€, highest amount of last 4 years. Considering summer transfer window, total amount was 2,6bio€, up 7% and highest ever

Premier League lead once again investment in Europe, more than doubling that of Bundesliga (2nd), yet flat vs previous year. European growth was driven by Bundesliga (74mio€; +224%), Serie A (62mio; +48%) and La Liga (59mio; +491%)

Combined season investment by Premier League clubs was the highest ever, in excess of 1bio€ (+35%). La Liga (2nd) reached 559mio€, followed by SerieA (364), Bundesliga (348) and at distance Ligue 1 (166)

All top European leagues (except France) reached record figures of player sales, as most teams (including top ones) need to sell to afford new signings. As result, Bundesliga takes over from Premier League with the highest net investment (60mio€). La Liga almost matches Premier League net investment (25 vs 30mio€respectively)

219 players in total were signed at winter transfer window, down 15% vs last year (38% in Italy). Higher number of exits resulted again in less players in the squads

CONCLUSIONS STR 2015- WINTER (1 OF 4)

65

Winter Transfer Window copes with the needs of the moment with a low success ratio. Only 9 out of the 39 winter signings from season 2013/14 played more than 50% of the minutes on the second half of the competition. And only 13 of them remained in their teams the following season

Bundesliga’s Wolfsburg tops spending table after paying 32mio€ for Chelsea’s Schürrle. The blues are next after reinvesting income on Cuadrado. 5 English teams feature in European top 10

5 high profile teams –ManU, Bayern, FC Barcelona, PSG and Inter did not splah any cash in fees. The catalans were banned by FIFA but are not usual suspects at winter transfer window (only signed players in 2 out of last 10 winter transfer windows). Real Madrid is back with the signings of Lucas Silva and Odegaard

Chelsea top players income table for 2nd year in a row (47,8mio€ in player sales) and after reaching its record high sales figure in the summer (94mio€). Benfica follows with 42mio€, thanks to sales of Enzo Pérez and Bernardo Silva, accounting for 115mio€ in total at season 14/15

Cuadrado signing by Chelsea was the most expensive of the winter (35mio€), followed by Bony (Manchester City) and Schürrle (Wolfsburg), both at 32mio€. All 3 signings join top 10 of most expensive winter signings ever, which is still lead by Torres (59mio€)

EPL sides invested 162mio€ at winter transfer window, up 8% vs last year only thanks to British pound value increase. Most investment conducted in the summer (1bio€, highest amount ever). As a result, total investment of the season is up 35% to 1,2bio€, record high in EPL history

Only 16 out of 47 players (34%) signed last winter played more than half of the EPL minutes. Fulham and Cardiff signed 7 players each with low participation and going to relegation anyway. And just 14 (30%) continued the following season

Chelsea (34,6mio€) and ManCity (32,3) top investment table following signings of Cuadrado and Bony respectively. Both Signings joint historical top 10. 13 teams (vs 5 at La Liga) spent money in transfer fees. Arsenal’s Gabriel (15mio€), Southampton’s Bertrand (12,8) and Leicester’s Kramaric (9) complete top 5 mot expensive signings


67

Chelsea is the driving force of winter transfer window in the last 6 years, monopolizing both total expenditure (216mio€) and sales (130). This winter it spent 35mio€ and sold for 48mio€. Up to 8 EPL teams cashed-in from players sales. Swansea only reinvested 1/3 of money collected from Bony sale to ManCity

Premier League sides sold players for 132mio€ in winter transfer window, and as a result investment in winter was down to 30mio€ (vs 35 last year)

A total of 135 players w6ere released by Premier League sides in January, of which 87 (64%) were on loan. As an average, each team released 7 players

Crystal Palace was the most active signing team by bringing a total of 7 players, followed by Swansea with 4. In terms of player exists, Chelsea (14), ManU (11) and West Ham (10) conducted massive number of loans. Liverpool and Newcastle were the only sides not signing any new players


68

Only 39% of players (57 out of 144) that joined Premier League last summer have played more than half of the minutes. West Ham, Arsenal, Newcastle and Southampton, the sides using more intensively the new signings. On the other end: M.United, Tottenham and Burnley

A.Sánchez and Lukaku have become the most profitable players from top 10 most expensive of last summer. James and D.Costa also among most profitable. On the opposite side, A.Herrera and Shaw. Di María, the most expensive player ever in P.League, has participated in only 50% of the minutes
