Premier League: Will the transfer record be broken?

(Baonghean.vn) - According to our statistics so far, Premier League clubs have spent more than 850 million pounds on player transfers.Man City - the team just defeatedReal Madrid 4-1 in the US is the team that spent the most money, with 175 million pounds to bring in 4 football stars.

The new season has not yet started but Manchester City players have had a great match, overwhelming the reigning Champions League champions, Real Madrid, with 4 goals.

In addition to the excellent De Bruyne, Aguero and Jesus, Portuguese goalkeeper Ederson has proven why Pep Guardiola was willing to spend 35 million pounds to recruit him from Benfica. Goalkeeper Ederson has made many classy saves that have frustrated Real Madrid's strikers. Money is the key to victory!

Spend money stylePremier League

Last year, according to the world's leading auditing company Deloitte, with a spending figure of 1.165 billion pounds, the Premier League set a record for player purchases. Of course, the Premier League became the highest-spending national championship in Europe, far surpassing the other four top leagues in the continent.

Despite complaining: "Player prices are too expensive now," Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte said: "Spending big money is now a trend in the Premier League because if you don't buy players, you won't be able to win the championship."

Conte admitted that he decided to leave Juventus in 2014, just days before the start of the new season, after the club's board of directors refused to allow him to spend money on players in order to achieve the Champions League title. Not only players, but even good coaches do not like to lead a poor team!

According to our statistics, the Premier League giants are the most generous "shoppers" in Europe today. In turn, Manchester City has spent 175 million pounds to buy 4 players, Manchester United has spent 106 million pounds to buy 2 players, Chelsea is 100 million pounds, Arsenal is 46.5 million pounds, Liverpool has spent the least 34 million pounds.

Tottenham Hotspur is likely to be the only Premier League club not to sign a major player (with a contract value of more than £20 million) this summer. It stems from the business philosophy of owner Daniel Levy!

Negotiations for player transfers are still ongoing, both publicly and privately, with the Premier League giants still having more than a month to surpass the £1.165bn mark, a record they broke last year.

The roosters crowed at each other.

It is true that money does not necessarily guarantee success in football, but it is certain that if you do not dare to spend money, your chance of winning the championship is extremely small. Facing the trend of spending money to buy players, Tottenham Hotspur Chairman Daniel Levy had an interview with BBC stating that the Premier League would be in danger if it spent too much.

"My job is to manage the team. Some people spend 200 million while they earn less. You can't let that go on," he said.

Immediately, 1 day later, coach Conte responded: "If Tottenham don't win the championship. It's not a disaster. If they don't play in the Champions League, it's not a disaster. If they get knocked out in the Champions League group stage, it's not a disaster. If they get knocked out in the first match they play in the Europa League like the match against Gent, it's not a disaster."

As if that wasn't enough, the Italian coach added sourly: "If you want to fight for the highest titles, you have to buy expensive players. Otherwise, you will stand still. My question is: What is Tottenham's goal?"

More than anyone, Conte understands the terrible pressure that foreign coaches put on working in the Premier League, even though he was just trusted by Chelsea's board of directors and rewarded with a new contract (salary of 9.5 million pounds, the highest in Chelsea's history) after winning the championship last season.

He shared: "Maybe in the Premier League, only Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, maybe Liverpool have ambition and would consider it a disaster. You have to understand the message and the goals of the team. Everyone understands the goals of the team."

It is true that player prices are skyrocketing, and a mountain of money is pouring into the Premier League. When these talents are scarce, spending money on top stars is the first factor to ensure the ambition to win the Premier League and then the Champions League. Football has no place for poor teams anymore!
