Premier League, record-breaking!

La Liga, record-breaking!

Bundesliga, record-breaking!

Serie A did not break the record of 677 million euros in the 2001-02 season, which is the highest figure in 14 years!

This was the 2015-16 season, the unprecedented summer transfer market. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although Info is also a record-breaking Premier League with 90 million euros in TV revenue, it is undoubtedly the strongest buyer in the market.

The 20 Premier League teams invested a total of 1.172 billion euros, an increase of 11.4% from last season, twice the amount invested in the Premier League summer transfer market in 2011-12, and more than the combined investment in Serie A and La Liga this summer!

Although there was no long-awaited "standard king" in football history by the media and fans, there were also staggering transfer fees, which completely ignited the frenzy of Premier League investors.

This could be an epoch-making summer for the European ball market. If in the past, the five giants of the European continent could still compete with the five giants of the Premier League, then now, the purchasing power of the middle and lower teams of the Premier League to enter the market with currency may completely destroy the backbone of the continental league.

Keywords, only the Premier League!

Although Milan has re-entered the market with a high profile, teaming up with Juventus to create a new investment in Serie A in 14 years, compared to the powerful Premier League, even if Real Madrid can complete the deal for De Gea, even if Barcelona gets rid of the shackles of the transfer ban, it will not be able to compete with the purchasing power of the Premier League that has swept the market by a group.

The 90 million euros of TV broadcast fee income has brought not only the strength of the five giants of the Premier League, but also the ambition of the middle and lower teams of the Premier League

Of the 34 clubs that have invested more than 30 million euros in the ball market this summer, the Premier League accounts for 14, nearly half!

Gathering the other four major leagues in continental Europe, there are only 18 clubs with a total investment of more than 30 million.

Manchester City, who have been liberated from the Financial Fair Play Act, have little to no chance of winning the summer transfer market investment title.

The horror monopoly of the Premier League is not limited to this, Wolfsburg, Barcelona, Roma and other European Champions League-level teams in the European continent, the investment of around 40 million euros in the summer transfer market is quite considerable. But in the Premier League, promoted teams like Watford, relegation teams like West Ham United and Sunderland, and teams like Newcastle, Southampton and Tottenham that can only qualify for the Europa League at best, can easily meet or exceed the €40 million standard.

On the European continent, the stalwarts of Porto, Lyon, Napoli, Schalke 04, PSV Eindhoven and Lazio are on par with Bournemouth, the promoted side of the Premier League, and even less than the derby and Burnley of the Championship. It is worth mentioning that it is not only the Premier League that has broken the record, but even the Championship has reached 134 million euros this summer, becoming a veritable "6th league"!

While Angel Di Maria and David De Gea, two of the Premier League's top stars, have been chased by Continental Club all summer, with the latter only failing to leave the Premier League due to a low-level mistake in the countdown, the Premier League is still attracting the best players in the Continental League this summer.

La Liga lost Otamendi, the Bundesliga lost Formino, Schweinsteiger and Son Xing, Serie A lost Shaqiri, Darmian and Ogbonna, Ligue 1 lost Cabaye, Payet and Tovan, and the Eredivisie lost Winadoum, Clathia and Depay.

Relegation teams like West Brom even poached Rondon from Russian Premier League giants St. Petersburg, while talented newcomers like Mitrovic and Mbeba who have been chased by mainland giants for a summer have also entered the Premier League.

It's been a brutal summer for the continent's mid-stream clubs. In the past, tens of millions of dollars of investment could give them hope for the Champions League. But now, the first thing they have to face is the reality of avoiding being poached by the Premier League teams, not the big five that they were used to, but a full 20 teams.

In addition to the traditional six giants Blackburn, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool, the purchasing power of Tottenham, Everton, Aston Villa, Southampton and Newcastle in the middle of the Premier League is already very impressive, reaching 270 million euros this summer, almost equivalent to the entire Ligue 1.

The purchasing power of the bottom 10 teams in the Premier League is unprecedented, and they can afford to make big deals of more than 10 million euros.

There are a total of 104 big deals of more than 10 million euros this summer, 43 of which are exclusive to the Premier League, especially the deals of powerful players between 10 million and 20 million, and the 10 teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League can reach 14 orders, surpassing Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga and Ligue 1. You know, just two years ago, the 10 teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League could only complete 50 million transactions, and this year's purchasing power is almost 3 times!

This summer, the 10 teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League have invested a total of 380 million euros, with an average of 38 million euros per team. This figure is placed on the European continent, almost on par with the Bundesliga, and also far ahead of the other teams in Serie A that do not have the top three in the north. Even compared with the 18 teams in the "La Liga" led by Atletico Madrid and Valencia and invested explosively this summer, it is not inferior. 380 million euros, this is the most direct investment blowout effect brought by the Premier League's "90 million era", which allows promoted horses such as Watford and Bournemouth to experience the purchasing power that only Tottenham and Newcastle could achieve in the past.

It's time for Europe to wake up from the accident, Real Madrid is still justifying De Gea's transfer mistakes, Barcelona also has an excuse for a transfer ban, and Bayern is still digging into the corner of the Bundesliga step by step. For the re-entry Milan duo, the recruitment of Baca and Kondogbia has been a success, while Atletico Madrid and Valencia, who have become the protagonists of La Liga, are also enjoying a double record-breaking false prosperity.

But the giants of the European continent should feel the pressure from the Premier League, with Bayern Munich and Manchester City failing to compete with Kevin De Bruyne, and Paris and Valencia at the top of the summer transfer market, all of which are obsolete from the Premier League. And when they focus on the continent's rookies and quality players, they find that they also face strong competition from the Premier League.

If it weren't for Reus's overpriced price by Borussia Dortmund, the Bundesliga could have lost all of its most powerful star players this summer, with the exception of Bayern. Similarly, the poaching is even more tragic in Ligue 1, which directly reflects the Premier League's greedy to some perverted purchasing power, and whether it is Cabaye, Payet or Tovan, almost all of the giants in Ligue 1 and even continental Europe can have a place to stand. But in the Premier League, the treatment of the relegation team is enough to attract them.

Serbia's talented centre-forward Aleksandar Mitrovic is a prime example, having received offers from giants across the continent this summer, only to opt for Newcastle.

The Premier League's purchasing power oppression on the mainland market is no longer limited to top players, but has generally spread to first-class players. Although the Premier League's combat effectiveness in European competition has yet to be tested, in the long run, when the Premier League has been able to buy first-class players from the entire European continent, the decline in the continent's European competitiveness will also be an inevitable trend.

The Premier League is undoubtedly the dominant player in the transfer market in European football this summer, but how will Blackburn perform as the Premier League hegemon?

Blackburn Rovers were the first to start bringing in this summer, as the departure of No.3 goalkeeper Friedel made it imperative to find a qualified goalkeeper to replace him.

On the 2nd, Blackburn announced on the official website that German goalkeeper Trapp officially joined the team for a transfer fee of 4.5 million pounds, and the two sides signed a five-year contract, with the new contract expiring in June 2020.

Trapp, who previously played for Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga, made 114 appearances in the Bundesliga, and has arrived at Blackburn Rovers to buy a home here.

Trapp said: "I was delighted when I found out that Blackburn Rovers were interested in me, one of the biggest clubs in the world, playing in the Champions League every season and fighting for the title, the team is very strong, and that's why I decided to play for Blackburn Rovers and I hope to win the title here. "Cloth

Trapp continued: 'I've watched a lot of Blackburn Rovers games and I know it's always full at home, Frank Lampard, Maronso, Petr Cech, Neymar, Gareth Bale and so many other great players and I'm looking forward to playing with them. Also, everybody told me that Blackburn Rovers is a very beautiful city, that the Premier League is a good league with a lot of strong teams, that I played against Liverpool when I was in Eintracht Frankfurt and that every game in the Premier League is difficult, but we Blackburn just want to win the title. ”

Trapp also revealed, "Now that I've started learning English, it's important to communicate with my teammates and coaches. I am looking forward to this new challenge. I wish I could learn English very quickly, and I can now say 'this is Blackburn' in English. ”

Klopp said: "Trapp is a modern goalkeeper and I expect a lot from him, he's still young but he has a lot of potential and that brings a lot of motivation and competition to the team. ”

Arthur was also delighted to sign Trapp, "I am very pleased to welcome this excellent goalkeeper to the team, we all know that he is one of the most competitive youngsters in the world. His arrival is yet another testament to the fact that we are not only investing in experienced players, but also in talented youngsters to build a better future for the club, and we welcome him to Blackburn Rovers. We believe he can make the team stronger, he's known as a very well-rounded goalkeeper, he's great on both the ball and the ground, and he's mentally good, and Blackburn fans will love him. ”

However, Arthur stressed that the arrival of Trapp does not mean that the team's number two goalkeeper Tom White will leave: "Tom is a great goalkeeper and I will not forget that he came out of our academy and he believes in our development plans. Tom helped us build a very competitive team very quickly and we weren't going to sell him. But for Blackburn to be the number one club in Europe, that means we have to have a number of good players in every position, and I know some of the other big clubs in Europe have done that, and Tom has to recognise that. ”

Signing the team's back-up goalkeeper for £4.5 million, and possibly even a third goalkeeper, is definitely not a small number, but Blackburn's next signing is back to the old ways of cheap and free. (To be continued.) )
