2.3 billion US dollars. Five of the most powerful league clubs spent this amount during a player transfer period lasting less than three months, acquiring new football players. The most expensive transfer of the season is called Gareth Bale, who arrived at Real Madrid for 91 million pounds. Spanish league clubs spent a total of about 461 million US dollars. British spent 622 million US dollars on new football players. French clubs spent 150 million, and Germans - 79 million. These sums revealed that neither the poor economic situation nor the Financial Fair Play rules, designed to limit the appetite of clubs, have an impact on the football market. "This is a market and we cannot interfere in it," - when asked about the huge sums spent on new players, FIFA president Sepp Blatter replied. "A country may have debts or be poor, but in football there is always money," said Blatter. - I doubt whether a player can be worth almost 100 million euros, but I cannot stop it."
Big football clubs don't feel the crisis - 2.3 billion US dollars spent during the off-season.
