How do Turkish clubs spend these money?
This was one of the most asked questions of this summer in Türkiye. However, this question is not given a clear answer.
Florya’s sale for the expenses of the Galatasaray Front points to sponsorship agreements with the revenues obtained from the Champions League and cost -effective capital increase. In Fenerbahçe, President Ali Koç and the managers are referred to the personal delegation.
However, this question has started to be asked not only in Türkiye but also in Europe after consecutive transfers.
After the Osimhen transfer, Il Post, one of the reputable news sites of Italy, who laid the issue on the table, published an analysis titled “How are these money spend?”.
In the analysis of IL Post, the following statements were included:
“Very few football clubs in the world spend as much as the best clubs in Türkiye, especially when the Super League is 10th among the most winning leagues in Europe, this is surprising. Moreover, Turkish clubs earn relatively less than the transfers and under a heavy debt burden.
These transfers are possible thanks to great sponsorships and some reckless commercial agreements, but the most decisive factor a few years ago was the state contribution to the government decided by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. “
The Economist, who discussed the expenditures of Turkish football clubs on the table, argued that inflation in Türkiye and the depreciation of the lira in Turkey provided benefits to the clubs.
In the analysis of the Economist, the following evaluation was made:
“Paradoxically, a reason why clubs can meet star players may be the economic problems of Türkiye. President Erdoğan kept the interest rates low for a long time despite climbing up to 85 %. Lira decreased from 10 to 2024 in 2021. Istanbul Club last season, the European League matches 45 million euros, French defender Sacha Boey paid 30 million euros.
Weak lira, clubs to melt domestic debts and costs helped. On the basis of euro, the debts of Turkish clubs decreased by 19 %between 2019-23; The debts of European clubs increased by an average of 40 %. With the recent recovery of economic policies, the euros left for clubs in their hands. It seems wise to rent elite players for a year for a year. In this way, clubs will be able to go further in the European cups without adding long -term obligations and earn more euros. If the lira loses value, they can remove expensive players. “
