Atlético de Madrid breaks the market with the signing of Joao Félix
The operation that currently reaches the highest economic amount is that of the young pearl of continental football, Joao Félix, by Atlético de Madrid for 127 million euros. It is followed by the star of Belgian football, Eden Hazard, who has landed at Real Madrid through an operation of 100 million euros plus another 30 variables. To which must be added the 120 million euros that Antoine Griezman has cost Fútbol Club de Barcelona.
For the moment, La Liga exceeds in expenses the other major competitions of the continent. It is a trend that has been manifesting itself in recent years in signings in futbolmoderno.es; but with the presence, as a novelty compared to other seasons, of the team chaired by Miguel Ángel Gil among those who have spent more money on strengthening their squad.
The signings of Bale, Pogba, Mbappe and Neymar remain to be resolved
In second place in this economic ranking is the Bundesliga (with just over 500 million), Italy's Serie A (400), the Premier League (300), and the French Ligue 1, which does not exceed the level of 100 million euros. Although some of the summer soap operas that affect footballers of the great category of Gareth Bale, Pogba, Mbappe or about the latest decision that Paris Saint Germain will take on the Brazilian Neymar still remain to be resolved. Precisely this last operation in the market could be around 200 million, which is the price with which the French team has valued the Brazilian international.
In any case, these possible signings can produce a substantial turnaround in the competition on the countries or leagues that spend the most on signings for the 2019-2020 season. The drop in the English league in relation to the income that their teams have made to be more competitive in this new season is striking. Since for the moment, neither Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool or Chelsea have formalized any acquisition of exceptional relevance, as happened in past years.
Proof of this is that the most expensive signing that Pep Guardiola's club has made, for the moment, has been that of the former Atlético player Rodri for an amount of 70 million euros. Although there are still a few weeks left where everything can vary substantially.
