Referring to the Premier League is referring to wealth with many blockbuster missions. However, in the opposite direction, the clubs in the UK also know how to do economics with the best players selling players.
Premier League clubs have never had to calculate carefully on the transfer market. In addition to identifying the appropriate players to increase the strength of the team in the short term, many of the leading teams in England now have to pay attention to the long -term potential, especially the ability to sell players to earn large profits.
Under the pressure of UEFA's financial rules as well as the Premier League profit and sustainability law, British teams are maximizing profits from buying players than ever.
So, which clubs in the UK have done the best “buy and sell expensive”? Let's take a look at the 20th ranking of the highest profit history of English football.
It was not surprising that the Philippe Coutinho's deal moved from Liverpool to Barca for 135 million euros in the 2017/18 season is still the most interest for an English club. Liverpool only had to spend 13 million euros to buy him from Inter in 2012, and earned a huge profit of 122 million euros after only 5 years.
More interesting, the deals with Barca and Real Madrid account for the majority of the highest profit sales list. Up to 5 of the top 10 most profitable deals are because these two La Liga giants buy players from the Premier League.
Most recently, Dean Huijsen joined Real Madrid to help Bournemouth pocket a profit of 42.9 million euros after selling the Spanish player for 62.5 million euros this summer.
Besides Coutinho and Huijsen, the list also has Gareth Bale, Eden Hazard and Cristiano Ronaldo – both joined Real Madrid and brought about great profits for British teams. Luis Suarez moved to Barca in 2014 also helped Liverpool to earn a total of 177 million euros profits within 3 seasons from Spanish clubs.
However, the biggest Premier League profit from the internal deals between British clubs. The Moicedo deal from Brighton to Chelsea ranked second, giving Brighton the profit of 87.8 million euros.
Meanwhile, Leicester contributes two other deals to the top 10: Harry Maguire to MU (profit of 73.3 million euros) and Riyad Mahrez to Man City (profit of 67.3 million euros). In total, with only 3 players (more Wesley Fofana to Chelsea), Leicester earned 186 million euros of profit.
In addition, John Stones and Romelu Lukaku left Everton, respectively to Man City and Chelsea, respectively, bringing in a total profit of 101.4 million euros. Southampton sold Virgil Van Dijk to 70 million euros, while Bournemouth recently earned 43.1 million euros from the Dominic Solanke deal to Tottenham.
From there, it is clear that the decentralization in the Premier League, when the “giants” of the Big Six group often spent money to buy the players who shone at mid -range or newly promoted clubs.
