English clubs still outperform all of the five major European leagues, in terms of spending on new player contracts, and Nottingham Forest, who has been promoted from the English Premier League “Championship”, to the Premier League, has spent following his rise so far 148 million euros. On the deals of new players, which is a large number for a newly emerging team, and if it indicates anything, it indicates this great superiority of the English clubs, over other clubs in Spain, Germany, Italy and France.
Transfermarkt reported that the English Premier League spent a total of 1.604 billion euros this summer, while La Liga clubs, for example, only spent 428 million euros.
With the return of Nottingham Forest to the spotlight, following an absence of 23 years, it becomes the second most English club to spend on new player deals, and the only club newly promoted from the First Division to be in the “Top 10” list of clubs that spend the most on buying players, spending “double” » What the champion “Championship” has spent, who has spent 56 million euros so far.
Nottingham Forest recently signed contracts with 16 players, including talented stars such as Dean Henderson, Jesse Lingard, Remo Froller, Nico Williams and Morgan Gibbs-White from Wolverhampton.
Barcelona is the only team in the Spanish League that outperforms Nottingham Fort, in terms of spending on players (153 million euros), with a slight difference from the English club (148 million euros).
The spending difference becomes greater if we compare the newly promoted clubs from the first class in the five major European leagues. For example, the newly promoted Real Valladolid in the “La Liga” spent only 3.4 million euros, Almeria “19.1 million” and Girona “4 million.” In other words, these three clubs together spent “sixth” of the Nottingham Forest budget, which was allocated to the purchase of new players.
In Italy, the first-class rookie “Monza” spent only 24 million euros, while the German Schalke spent 8 million euros, while the newly promoted French Toulouse in the French top-flight league “League Anne” spent only 6 million euros.
