Summary: Manchester United - Real Sociedad 1:0 (Sport1)

The CIES Football Research Institute published a study this week whose purpose was to examine the spending of football clubs in the world over the last decade, from the summer window of 2012 to the summer window of 2022, in order to understand who was the team that paid the most money unnecessarily on acquisition players.

Unsurprisingly, if you rely on the state of the team and its results in the last decade, at the top is standing and giant Manchester United.



The study examined all the clubs of the five top leagues in Europe and the ranking included only clubs that made ten or more acquisitions in the last decade, not including transactions in which purchase options were exercised.

It was not detailed how the market price of each player was estimated, but the research was conducted in such a way that every purchase in the last decade was examined by comparing the market value of the player at the time of his purchase against the amount actually paid for him.

At the top is Manchester United, which, according to the CIES institute, invested 238 million euros above the real amount.

We did not detail the transactions and/or explain the transactions that made the Red Devils the most spendthrift in the world of football, but it goes without saying that the Harry Maguire transaction had a big impact after the stopper was purchased from Leicester for 87 million euros and since then he has become one of the scapegoats every time the team is humiliated.

There were also deals for Romelu Lukaku (85 million euros) and Angel Di Maria (75 million euros), two of whom we know left the club soon.

A total of 33 transactions carried out by Manchester United were counted in the calculation.



In second place is the Italian Juventus, who acquired 36 different players and could, according to the study, have paid for them 234 million euros less than the amount they actually invested - the Gonzalo Higuain deal, which cost 90 million euros, certainly did not contribute to the old lady in light of the fact that he found himself in a relatively short time, leading to various questions .

In third place is Paris Saint-Germain with an overinvestment of 162 million euros.

Of the transactions that placed Barcelona in a surprising place?

In the fourth and surprising place is Aston Villa, which invested 557 million euros on acquisition players in the past decade and, according to the study, should have paid 149 million euros less, meaning a savings of 35 percent out of 44 transactions examined.

Ranked fifth is Real Madrid, which invested 148 million euros more than the real amount out of the 833 million euros it paid in total, and in the sixth and seventh places are London's Chelsea and Arsenal, who paid 135 and 129 million euros, respectively, above the estimated price.

The top ten was closed by the French Rennes and Everton.



Barcelona, ​​for those who were wondering and perhaps surprisingly, according to the calculation is actually one of the top teams in the world that came out with a "profit" of 47 million euros.

Manchester City, which has dominated the Premier League in recent years, can also be satisfied with itself in light of the calculation that shows that it invested a total of 23 million euros above the estimated price.

Among the major teams in England, only Tottenham invested less than they should have according to the study, saving six million euros.
