Since Neymar's 222-million euro transfer to PSG, football transfer fees have escalated dramatically beyond 20-30 million pounds that used to signify top players. Bayern Munich, despite its critique of exorbitant transfer fees, partook in this trend with Alphonso Davies receiving a 22-million euro signing bonus in his new contract extension. Max Eberl, Bayern's board member for sport, acknowledged the evolving financial landscape compared to his time in management, emphasizing that market conditions dictate player transactions and the necessity of securing top talent.
The market conditions are what they are. In the end, it's about: are there real alternatives on the market? We have to make these decisions and we have clearly answered them for Phonzy.
It feels like a distant memory where top class players would cost roughly 20-30 million pounds, and those marks would routinely shatter club record transfer fees.
