CIES Study Market Value vs. Fee: These clubs have overpaid for new players over the past 10 years. The top 10 transfer fee wasters in a row.
That CIES Football Observatory repeatedly conducts research into the world of professional football. The latest research is devoted to the transfer spending of clubs from the top 5 leagues in Europe. Which clubs from the? Eredivisie, la league, Bundesliga, Serie A and Competition 1 have overpaid for their new entrants when comparing the fee and market value of the players. The transfer window of the past ten years was compared.
As an example: If player XY is signed for a transfer fee of 100 million euros, but his market value is only 60 million euros, then the investment was 40 million euros above the estimated value. This amount is then included in the assessment.
Not particularly surprising Manchester United top of this list. There is also a Bundesliga club in the top 10.
Only clubs with a minimum of ten transfers with a fee since July 2012. Activation of exit or purchase option clauses is not taken into account.
