La Liga vs Premier League: Economic Power Compared

There was a time, summer of 1996, in which Spain gave flight to the end of the League of Stars. With a talonario and fanfarería. A few years later, between 2009 and 2018, the lavish confrontation between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi maintained the focus on the Spanish championship and monetized until the name of The Classic, today registered trademark. Throughout this 21st century, in the same way, Valencia played two finals of the Champions League, Sevilla entertained himself in winning seven UEFA glas Its ability to attract new figures and soccer players. This summer of 2025 only Madrid, an own ecosystem, also fought with the LaLiga instead of being the car that pulls the rest, and Atlético de Madrid have made an important investment in the signing market that ended last night: 185 million has spent Madrid and up to 175 Atlético. Precisely, the rojiblanco team reacted on Monday to its bad league start. He achieved the assignment of the end Nico González, from Juventus. A striker who arrives on loan with a purchase option of 30 million. As an example of a last minute reaction, Athletic Club, in the absence of making it official, because it arrives as a free agent, was done with the services of a very important player as Aymeric Laporte, which leaves Saudi Arabia.

The rest of the Spanish competition teams, subjects such as all clubs to strict financial control rules (considered necessary to avoid past lags), measure their expense a lot and control the excesses. Against the system some rebels such as Villarreal and Betis, two entities that, in the middle, of poverty, have made interesting investments rebel. The yellow team, now in Champions, has spent 101 million, for the 65 of Betis, including 25 (22, plus three in variables) that the Andalusian club has paid for Antony, Brazilian international from United from which he has been fighting the entire summer. The striker and Betis have lived an authentic soap opera, resulted in a happy ending on the last day of the summer market, where he also confirmed the arrival of Sofyan Amrabat, Moroccan half of Fenerbahçe who arrives on loan for a season.

As for Villarreal, analysts point to the yellow team as one of the ones that has best moved in this market. After selling Yeremy Pino to Crystal Palace, the leaders have pleased their coach, Marcelino García Toral, with the acquisition of Georges Mikautadze, Georgian striker of the Lyon. The 30 million that the set will pay yellow They will assume the most expensive signing of their entire history, exceeding 25.5 paid by Paco Alcácer. Previously it was made with Renato Veiga, Central del Chelsea, for 25.

Sevilla signed for forced marches on the horn. He sold Lukébakio for 20 million to Benfica and was made with Mendy, a 19 -year -old French half -year -old, and with the Cardoso Central. The icing was the return to the Spanish football of Alexis Sánchez, at 36. Valencia took Punta Lucas Beltrán, as assigned and from Fiorentina, while Rayo signed the Alemâo striker. The goalkeeper Livakovic, Vanat and Bryan Gil arrived at Girona.

The disproportion between what was invested in the Premier with respect to the rest of the four major European leagues is evident. The English League has spent a total of 3,250 million euros for the 696 of the League, which not only loses compared to England, but also has been surpassed by Italy and Germany in investment. In series A 1,125 million have been disbursed, for the 775 spent in the Bundesliga.

The arrival of Alexander Isak to Liverpool on this frantic Monday delved into the differences. The 150 million paid by the Premier champion suppose the most expensive signing in the history of the competition. Founded in 1992, the Premier has done nothing but grow. Isak’s operation is confirmed one day after the VAR did not work at the Liga Rayo-Barcelona, ​​also played in a Vallecas stadium in very bad conditions. As the last sample of the Force of the English Tournament, Uche, from Getafe, left for Crystal Palace.

From the employer, it has an impact on defending the rigor of the Spanish model. There are undoubted advances, such as the containment of the debt of Spanish clubs after years of excessive expenses. “Antony’s operation is very risky for us from the economic point of view because LaLiga’s control is strong, but we had to do it,” Verdiblancas sources say to this medium after his last signing. The League controls each operation with magnifying glass. At the same time, from the employer, the dangers of the English model are notified: continuous indebtedness and the owners of the teams spending without control. In England there is a culture of seeing a much more entrenched payment football than in Spain. The Force of English as the First World Language drives the dissemination of the Premier, for example, in the Asian market.
