culture. are not a visitor nothing yet you want to become a citizen. in for migrants your platform for reliable information. this is probably the biggest trysts major football since world war 2. the death toll from the hottest rise a rapid shock rises with local doctors call them. it's trying to work hard and you

know the message doesn't please cover your nose down into the ground and so. the corona virus is changing the world as we know it but how is it changing for people people for whom this kind of i'm prepared to take this short there's no question that this will have long lasting consequences not just this year or next year how is it affecting cops players' contracts and wages how's it affecting the transfer market. with those who will use times which will we still see 200000000 euro blockbuster transfers or is this the beginning of something new it's still hard to imagine but if we see football being played at all it will be like this football without fans that's the new normal and will be for the foreseeable future but why is corona such a big problem for football clubs and their business models why are they suddenly

struggling to survive if they're not allowed to play it has to do with affect how football clubs make money these days for example europe's top 5 police have 3 main sources of income match day revenue things like tickets food and drinks makes up to 16 percent on average 40 percent is commercial revenue sponsoring 2 years and so on and the highest proportion is broadcasting deals with 44 percent t.v. money so $2.00 of these men share revenue in t.v. money are gone if there are no games and for smaller teams that broadcast money is even more important. here when i am listening. to. broadcasters have. informed the league that they would not take until football returns to the village this is a huge structural impact then will have a domino effect from big to clubs from clubs to players and from players. and

that's why europe's topics are so desperate to finish the season ok besides belgium the netherlands are fronts where the authorities have cancelled the season's already p.s.g. for example top of the table crowned champions again but everyone else is eager to resume play because that's the only way to get your hands on that t.v. money and that pretty much keeps the clubs alive. do you. mean it's not. close to the. economic model of many clubs is very challenged at the moment we also need to forecast that we probably will have a significant amount of time a year or 2 years in which the broadcast will look different sponsors may be able to pay less because of the general economic downturn the clubs are not reliant on media rights only they can also make money by selling players that's what most of them actually do think of for example they have more than 600000000 euros in

transfer fees in the last 5 years it's a multi-million dollar business the transfer market has been skyrocketing for years between 2012 and 29000 the number of transfers went up every year and transfer fees almost tripled the club spent more money than ever on transfers and those transfer fees the whole transfer market is even more important for many clubs outside europe's top leagues just think of all the players from south america coming to europe every year for those clubs selling their best players to the big leagues in europe that's their business model and that is under threat and we the science clubs are in constantly they are all that are. easy to transfer the. plot so it's mostly keep going you. know when the men from suits leave the. grounds 1st. and some of the

business even call it a solidarity mechanism like the general manager of the club. we get money from the big leagues and get money from us in the chain breaks it reaches every corner of the globe. i want to hear from the other side i have an appointment with a player agent usually they don't talk openly to the media exclusive access. john is an agent from germany he's got several players on the contract. in the premier league. and the bundesliga and the turkish super league are his players prepared to take wage cuts 'd.

but. how is the crisis affecting his business as a player agent. and the players who will lose value but how much recent analysis by the international center for sports studies shows the crisis has heavily affected players estimated transfer values like olympic must say. even giants like brian munich and real madrid are affected their squad lose up to 30 percent of their well you know the whole football industry that means an estimated drop of 10000000000 euros.

really. you know. who are left. out of this. and here's an interesting fact younger players who have a lot of potential aren't affected the same way as older ones take leo messi for example he is 32 years old almost 33 his contract runs out in 2021 messi is now worth less than jaden sanchez was 12 years younger than him since the virus pandemic hit europe both had to accept wage cuts and both lost value message estimated transfer value dropped by 20 percent some shows just 10. so will we still see 200000000 euro blockbuster transfers in the future. oh yes most really.

it's less. so and you. think you can alter. the company itself. but the end up in this mess is that a lot of products they still make a lot of money because they have the best in the game but what about millions of other players around the globe and especially the ones with contracts running out most of them aren't very modest wages and have very short contracts so course there's a lot of economic pressure on these players as well after the season when many contracts run out we'll see more players. probably freight and looking for

continued employment than ever before because the stench that normally would have already happened now probably happening later but they're not happening at all so what does all this mean for future transfers will we see more and more players unemployed more loan deals maybe a trend we've seen for years now or swept us you off of play as a human being from the youth ranks and you get that player see you want to return to the interesting question is how would football how will collapse it just and me lead to lots of little grunts and. very real that. pull the clubs who are. very elite. is this the new world of football the rich getting richer and exploiting the smaller clubs or struggling to survive the elite clubs where they finally start a league of their own from shutdown straight into the european super league or do

we need a more radical solution a salary cap maybe a what if we abolish the transfer market altogether she says. and does not exist. because then has published a study on this and he's not the only one who is critical of the current transfer system actually 5th pro the players' union lobby against transfer fees until he fucked them in and they made an agreement interesting question actually what would a football world look like without it transformed by. those who believe in the original complete. no budget drops in one year almost 50000000 euros and on. the role players. will gain a lot of money by the most in the sciences and in the bonus league it's estimated to be more than $200.00. a 1000000 euros per season that's

a crazy amount of money on the other hand though abolishing the transfer market will mean no more gossip and smaller teams $1.00 kristie for transfer fees for their youth academy players the players they have invested in wouldn't give us an issue. trying to. get sufficient in fines although the deal can also beings i think she. should be those looking want to fish to avoid spending but that's shooting the full squad i wish to suddenly switch off switch to the symbolism but i can also get seen on them but i see so long to find even testified to keep it to cynthia office and they decide to discuss it so where does football go from here we come out of this with a better healthier more equal game one thing's for sure football needs to change the question how we need to see it as a chance to probably also change direction in some areas there's going to be a need next is more uncertain the future save the money on the job the more

time she's now to. 'd present benzine than sick with pushed ups and. calm that's the beauty. of the folks in the desired. result grouping. seller's market. on the principle you are making over money it means that we will have a serious a meaningful reform regarding the agents of d.v.d.'s regarding the transfer flows and if we bring order into what seems to be a pretty chaotic financial landscape if this is what we're talking about a totally different cookbook then i would applaud their.
