On February 1, Beijing time, the winter window of the five major European leagues officially closed, and the total investment of the top 20 of the Premier League exceeded 800 million euros, which was very strong and dwarfed the other four major leagues.
824 million, a Premier League record
The winter window investment record was 560 million euros set by the Premier League in 2018, and five years later, it was broken by themselves, and directly exceeded 800 million, which is breathtaking.
Chelsea's $320 million investment is 37 per cent, but the record-breaking will depend on contributions from other teams. Arsenal and Southampton have invested more than 60 million euros, with Bournemouth, Liverpool, Newcastle, Leeds United and Wolves very close.
If it weren't for Manchester United and Manchester City, the Premier League could have set a record to a higher level.
The four major leagues were completely crushed
Compared with the Premier League, the investment of the other four major leagues in this year's winter window is really "drizzle".
Who is in second place? Ligue 1! 117.9 million euros, just exceeded 100 million. With 68.27 million euros in the Bundesliga, it is in third place.
What about La Liga? Only 31.88 million euros, not as good as the US major league and the Argentine league! Serie A is 28.42 million euros, which is the last seat, slightly higher than the Championship.
These four companies add up to a total investment of 246.4 million, only 29.9% of the Premier League! In other words, the Premier League is 3.3 times more than the other four combined!
I have to say that the Premier League is really rich, really trenched, and its revenue capacity is unmatched by other leagues, so whether it is a giant, or a middle and downstream team, they dare to invest and dare to throw money.
