The year 2019 has witnessed a record value of football transfer deals, with clubs in Europe’s “Big five” leagues spending \u20ac5.5bn, \u20ac900m more than the 2018 summer transfer window.<\/p>\n

However, with far less money available to football clubs and a steep drop in footballers’ value, the coronavirus outbreak triggered a sharp fall both in the volume of transactions and transfer fees.<\/p>\n

According to data presented by SafeBettingSites<\/a>, the combined value of 1,381 transfer deals completed in the 2020 summer transfer window hit \u20ac3.3bn value, a 40% plunge year-over-year.<\/p>\n
