Recently, Arsene Wenger, who constantly criticizes UEFA's "Financial Fair Play" (FFP) rules, believes that in the coming years something will definitely happen that will stop the ridiculously rising transfer prices.
The London Arsenal coach initially supported FFP, but over time more and more shortcomings became apparent, until ultimately Paris Saint-Germain bought Neymar for 222 million euros.
Furthermore, the French runner-ups managed to circumvent the rules altogether by agreeing on Kylian Mbappe's transfer next summer and loaning him until then.
"Something will happen," said Wenger.
"It was the first time that the political step was taken by the German prime minister and UEFA president, and I think that in the next 12 months something will definitely be done to regulate transfer limits and sums."
The strategist believes there are two choices - either stricter rules or no rules at all.
"We must choose one of the two paths. Either properly supervise all this, or leave it completely open," Wenger added.
"Nevertheless, there can be no middle ground. That's where we are at this moment. This only serves certain clubs that can comply with the rules legally."
"The rules must be stricter and clearer, or they need to be completely abolished - you can do whatever you want if you can guarantee that you have the money to pay."
This summer, Wenger's Arsenal was one of the few English clubs that earned during the transfer window.
