Premier League clubs have made a net loss of more than £1.1bn from “failed” transfers, according to a study from The Player Care Group. That equates to a reported net loss of £19.6m for each club per season between 2021 and 2024.
A failed transfer is described as a transfer in which “a player, who was signed by a Premier League club either on a free transfer or for a fee, was then sold or loaned to another club during the same 2021-2024 window, with those playing fewer than 60% of matches across their length of contract”.
