7. BACKGROUND
Summer transfer window was the busiest in history, with top 5 European leagues having increase
expenditure by 40% to 2,1bio
UEFA Financial Fair Play mechanism, which will not allow to participate in European competitions
the teams with more than 45mio€ of accumulated losses during 3 seasons until 2014/15, affects
transfer decisions and increase revenue generation needs at top European clubs
Wide availability in the market of free players as a result of continued reduction of the number of
players in the squads
New TV contracts in place at English Premier League as of this season increase purchasing
capacity of its sides in more than 50%
In England, Manchester United tough season on the pitch required action in terms of bringing a
world class midfielder
Top Premier League have been signing young talent in recent years that need to gain experience in
lower profile teams and leagues
In Spain, the difficulty to further grow revenues affecting the majority of clubs, along with new
regulations imposed by CSD (government sports body) and LFP (Spanish professional league)
result in a more strict control of the expenditure in new players

87. CONCLUSIONS STR 2014- WINTER (1 OF 4)
At the second season of the coming into force of UEFA’s Financial Fair Play we can
not conclude yet it has helped to reduce the gap between richest and poorest clubs
European teams have invested a total of 290mio€ in player transfers at winter
window, down 4,3% vs previous season. Investment has now been stable for 3
consecutive years. Winter transfer window continues to be a complement to
investment taking place in the summer. This January it represented only 13,5% of
amount spent in summer 2012
Combined investment of summer (the main driver) and winter in top 5 European
leagues was in excess of 2,4bio€, up 32% vs last season and record high ever.
English Premier League lead once again investment in Europe -52% of the total,
the highest ever- followed by French League 1. Spending at Italian Serie A dropped
54% while La Liga continues at the bottom for one more year
Investment by Premier League sides was the highest ever and approaches 1bio€,
as a result of yet another increase in TV revenues. For second year in a row,
Spanish La Liga is the fourth European league in terms of total investment
(summer plus winter) in signings
87
88. CONCLUSIONS STR 2014- WINTER (2 OF 4)
Premier League has the smallest concentration as top 2 teams (Chelsea & Tottenham) account for
28,7% of total and top 4 for 49,8% (+ManCity and ManU). On the opposite side, Ligue 1 (PSG and
Monaco make 73,2%) and La Liga (Real Madrid and FCB 61,2%) are the most polarized
tournaments
Total number of sign-ups in Europe was down 14% to 257. For the 5th season in a row, Italian Serie
A registered the highest number of signings (95). Loans and free transfers continue to represent a
significant portion of the transactions. For the 5th consecutive season, all leagues have
experimented a net decrease in the number of players, as teams are reducing players payroll.
Premier League had the highest net decrease, which has been growing for 4 consecutive years
Sale of Mata to ManU helped Chelsea top again a spending table after signing Matic, Zouma &
Salah, closely followed by ManU. No Spanish nor German teams in the top 10
7 top European teams (AC Milan, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Juventus, ManCity, Bayern and FC
Barcelona) did not spent any cash on transfer fees. For ManCity, Bayern and FC Barcelona it was
for the 3rd consecutive winter transfer window. Chelsea is the main protagonist of winter window,
topping both spending and sales tables. Another Premier League side –Newcastle- and Benfica
follow after selling Cabaye and Matic.
Besides Chelsea, the only top club with sales activity was FC Barcelona (Sanabria to Italian side
Sassuolo).
88
89. CONCLUSIONS STR 2014- WINTER (3 OF 4)
New signings table was dominated by Serie A sides. Fulham, Cardiff City and Valencia, the
only non Italian sides in the top 10 wit 7, 6 and 5 new players respectively. On top of Italian
sides, Chelsea (13), ManU (12) and Crystal Palace (12) were among the sides releasing
the highest number of players in Europa
Juan Mata signing by ManU for 45mio€ was the most expensive of the winter, followed by
Matic and Cabaye (both 25 mi€). 5 of 10 most expensive moves had Chelsea involved,
either selling or buying . Mata, Matic and Cabaye join historical top 10 of most expensive
transfers in a winter window, which is still topped by Fernando Torres move to Chelsea for
58,5mio€. 8 out of 10 most expensive winter signings ever, conducted by Premier League
sides
Real Madrid was the side with highest combined investment (summer + winter) of season
2013/14 with 182mio€, even if not spending in winter, followed by Monaco (178), PSG
(136), Chelsea (131) and Tottenham (122). ManCity, Napoli, AS Roma, Dinamo Moscow
and Shaktar complete top 10.
89
90. CONCLUSIONS STR 2014- WINTER (3 OF 4)
La Liga teams invested 12mio€ in new players in January, in line with previous
season. The amount is one of the lowest of last 15 seasons and keeps Spanish
league at the bottom in Europe. The main portion of investment of the season was
conducted in the summer. As a result, investment in January represented only 3%
of the summer expenditure at La Liga
Driven by the signings of Bale (Real Madrid) and Neymar (FC Barcelona),
combined investment (summer+winter) in La Liga grew again and was the second
highest of the last 6 years (400mio€, of which 60% by Real and Barça). Even with
the impact of winter investment growth, season 2012/13 will have seen a 62%
decline (to 140mio€) in La Liga new players total expenditure, the lowest among
top European leagues and of the last 5 years
Only 5 out of 20 La Liga teams signed players this winter paying a transfer fee. The
other 15 teams have not paid any transfer fees for 3 years in a row
Atletico Madrid gets confirmed as the driving force of winter transfer window at La
Liga, with a total investment of 24mio€ in 5 years. Real Madrid and FC Barcelona
rarely make any investments in January
90
91. CONCLUSIONS STR 2014- WINTER (4 OF 4)
Canales (Real Sociedad; 3,5mio€) and Araujo (Valencia; 3,5mio€) were the most
expensive signings at la Liga transfer window. Top 10 most ranking of most
expensive winter signings ever remains unchanged for second year in a row
La Liga sides collected 10,6mio€ from player sales in January, offsetting most of
the expenditure and resulting in just 1mio€ of net investment. FC Barcelona toped
the list of revenues from players transfers after selling youngster Toni Sanabria to
Sassuolo for 4,5mio€. Valencia (3,5mio€) and Villarreal (2,5) were the only other
sides that collected money from player sales
A total of 38 players were signed by La Liga sides in January, down from 44 last
season. Loans and free transfers are still very popular and represented almost half
of the moves. Just like it happened at the other top European leagues, La Liga
teams took advantage of winter transfer window to reduce the number of players in
their squads
Valencia was the most active La Liga team in January, bringing 5 new players and
releasing 6. Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Sevilla, Espanyol and Ath Bilbao did not
sign any new players. Sevilla was the team that most reduced players in squad, by
releasing 7 players and not bringing anyone. Neither Real Madrid nor FC
Barcelona released any first squad players
91
92. SUMMARY: ON GOING SEASON REVIEW
Participation of players signed last summer has grown 3% to 42%. New players
having participated in more than half of total minutes has never reached 50%. FC
Barcelona (Neymar), Celta, Osasuna and Getafe are the teams that have taken
best advantage of summer player signings. On the other extreme, Betis, Espanyol,
Atlético and Real Sociedad
Fernandinho has become the most profitable player from top 10 most expensive of
last summer. Higüain and Özil also among most profitable. On the opposite side,
Willian and Illarramendi. Despite not being yet among undisputable first elven in
their team, Isco and Neymar played 70% and 65% of minutes respectively. Atlético
signings virtually not used
Musacchio, Gaspar and Trujillo (Almería) are the only La Liga players that played
100% of the minutes. Respective injuries provoked that for the first time neither
Cristiano Ronaldo nor Messi are among the most used players of La Liga
Atlético de Madrid is the team with most stable line-up: 9 of its players have
participated in more than 70% of the minutes (on the other side Valencia and Betis
with just 4). Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have 7 and 6 key players respectively
(same as last season)
92
93. SUMMARY: ON GOING SEASON REVIEW
Betis from Sevilla is for 3rd consecutive year the team that has fielded most
different players so far (27). On the other side, Celta fielded 20 different players
only. Athletic de Bilbao (20) is well ahead in terms of usage of home grown players.
Real Sociedad (16) and FC Barcelona a (15) complete top 3 positions for the third
year in a row. On the other side, Granada did not field any home grown player for
2 consecutive seasons
Betis from Sevilla is for 3rd consecutive year the team that has fielded most

93
94. SUMMARY- EUROPEAN FOOTBALL TABLE 2013/14
Guardiola’s Bayern Munich tops European Football Table for the first time, having
achieved 92,2% of total points possible (82,4% last year). Juventus achieved the
best rate of an Italian team in recent years with 91,2% of the point (vs 77,2% last
year). Arsenal is the only Premiership team in top 10 as a result of one of most
competitive seasons in England.
Socheaux (Ligue 1), Betis (La Liga) and Ajaccio (Ligue 1) are the worst teams in
Europe
FC Barcelona, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Juventus are the only teams
that have won all home games. Bayern Munich and Juventus are also the best
teams playing away, with 83,3% points rate during first half of the league
Manchester City is top scoring side in Europe, with an average of 2,84 goals per
game, just ahead of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona (2,79). The Citizens home

Lille has the best defense in Europe, having conceded an average of just 0,42
goals per game, followed by Bayern Munich and AS Roma
94
95. SUMMARY- EUROPEAN FOOTBALL TABLE 2013/14
FC Barcelona has the highest favorable goal difference in Europe (+41), followed
by Atlético (+36) and Bayern Munich (+35)
Lille (1,82 points per goal in average), Tottenham (1,55) and Crystal Palace (1,33)
are the teams with best goal profitability in Europe
La Liga BBVA has increased the average goals per game for the 3rd year in a row
(2,61 in 2011/12, 2,85 in 2012/13 and 2,91 in 2013/14)
German Bundesliga is the most prolific European league for 4th consecutive
season, with record high 3,2 goals per match in average. La Liga maintains second
position (2,91) and Premier League has fallen to 4th position for the 1st time (2,68
goals per match, -5% vs previous season)
Investment in new players brought better pitch performance, as 8 of the top 10
spending sides of the summer in Spain have improved their points rate. Real
Madrid shows the best improvement while FC Barcelona and Betis fail to capitalise
the expenditure in new players last summer getting a lower percentage of points
than last year
95
96. SUMMARY- EUROPEAN FOOTBALL TABLE 2013/14
Cristiano Ronaldo is the best striker in Europe with 20 goals, followed by Diego
