Driven by Chelsea, Greater Paris and Manchester City, European football has blown a golden wind, and a team has spent more than 100 million yuan in a transfer window. Around this topic, the Italian media "Milan Sport Newspaper" has calculated that in the 10 years from 2012 to 2022, the top ten net transfer expenditures of European clubs. At the top of the table is Manchester United, the premier League's veteran giant with a staggering €1 billion in net investment.
However, the huge investment has not brought revival to the team, although it has won 6 championship trophies during this period, but in addition to the Europa League, the other trophies are seriously insufficient, and there is still a big gap from winning the Premier League and Champions League trophies. Next in second place is Paris Saint-Germain, a local tycoon warship backed by an oil tree, with a net investment of 941 million euros, it is worth mentioning that they are the team with the largest number of champions in this list, and have won 27 championships in the past 10 years. However, a careful analysis can find that in fact, the number of champions is only a "fig leaf" obtained by Paris in a weak league, because the gold content of these trophies is seriously insufficient, even the 7 Ligue 1 trophies with the highest gold content are difficult to convince the public.
In contrast, Manchester City, which ranks third with a net investment of 900 million, has a much higher gold content for the championship because the gold content of the Premier League is difficult to compare with Ligue 1. At the same time, in terms of squad prospects, Manchester City is also better than Greater Paris, the former under the tutelage of Guardiola, closer to team football, although there are also top stars such as De Bruyne in the squad, but no one is indispensable. The big Paris are different, they are basically around the superstars Mbappe, Neymar and Messi to construct tactics, as long as these 3 people are missing, the competitiveness of this team will be seriously reduced. Given Messi's old age and delay in integrating, Mbappe's desire to go to Real Madrid, and Neymar's many injuries and indiscipline, these circumstances have made the future of Paris full of worries. Placed 4th to 6th are Barca, which has won 16 titles with a net investment of 650 million, Arsenal, which has invested 583 million yuan to win 8 titles, and Juve, who has invested 561 million to win 17 titles.
The seventh place is AC Milan, which has a net investment of 432 million euros, but only 1 Italian Super League title, although Manchester United has the largest net investment, but AC Milan is undoubtedly much worse in comparison. Not only is the gold content and number of champions less, compared with manchester United, who currently has Sancho, B Fee, De Gea and other top stars, the AC Milan squad is quite cold, the midfield core Casey is likely to leave the team freely, and the forward core Ibrahimovic is already 41 years old. Next in the 8th and 9th places are Everton and Aston Villa, which have invested 429 million and 424 million respectively, and these two Premier League powerhouses unfortunately do not have any championship trophies in the account. In the 10th place is Chelsea, who just won the Champions League trophy last season, and have invested 413 million yuan in the past 10 years, winning 8 trophies.
