| Title | Investigating Factors Affecting Inflation in Football Transfer Market: Challenges and Scopes for Policy Reforms |
| Summary | In recent years, it has been commonplace for football clubs to spend over 100 million euros to acquire a player. Transfer fees are becoming more major costs for football clubs. This is true for both the leading European leagues and the smaller ones. According to the relevant literature, a player's value relies on characteristics such as his position on the field, age, year of transfer, and career highlights. This study was based on the top six football leagues (the English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, and German leagues). The objective of this study was to determine the qualities that contribute to the distinctive value of football players. This study addresses the age, country, and playing position of the player. In addition to these considerations, the research examines Agent fees and panic purchasing at the conclusion of a transfer window. Since numerous clubs have recently been bought by Middle Eastern parties using "oil money," this study also examines if there is a relationship between oil markets and football transfer markets. In addition, the idea of "sports washing" in football has been considered, which, to my knowledge, has not been addressed in earlier research. |
