In recent years, with the emergence of high-cost transfer transactions, the probability of parallel imports has also skyrocketed, which is more common in the deep-pocketed Premier League. But since the other party can take out such a sum of money, it is naturally a recognition of the player's current strength. It's just that some people's strength has stagnated and become parallel goods. And some people's strength has begun to CD, maybe it is a parallel import for a while, but there will eventually be a time to find the tuba.
Richarlisone is picking up
Richarlison is a good example. The Brazilian striker moved to Tottenham from Everton for €58 million in the summer window of 2022. For Tottenham, the fee was already the second most expensive expense for the club at the time. But after all, Richarlison has scored 53 goals and provided 14 assists in 152 appearances for Everton, and his efficiency is still remarkable. And also familiar with the Premier League, can plug and play.
Wonderful goals for the World Cup
Embarrassingly, however, Richarlison's first season at Tottenham was a disaster. In 27 league appearances, 12 starts, the statistics were dismal with one goal and three assists, and only two goals in the Champions League. Doubts have been raised throughout the season, but this year, Richarlison is about to get through the second line. In the 20 games played in the league, he has scored 10 goals and contributed 3 assists, ranking 7th in the scorer list, and his form is very hot, proving that he is not a parallel import!
When Anthony broke the league
Richarlison's Brazilian hometown, winger Antony, who now plays for Manchester United in the Premier League, is not in such a good situation. Since moving to the Red Devils from Ajax in the Eredivisie in the summer of 2022, he has not come up with enough performance to match his 100 million yuan transfer fee. The new season has been played in 23 league rounds, Antony has made 19 appearances, including 11 starts, but the goals and assists are still zero!
