Premier League Player Costs

The cost associated with acquiring a football player for the Premier League has exceeded drastically in the last decade. It’s now estimated that the average salary for somebody playing in the Premier League exceeds £3 million yearly. This information comes from a survey held by Global Sports. When broken down every week, it’s been estimated that players earn £61,025.00. This figure has jumped by £10,000.00 in less than two years. Those estimations are based on the lower-tiered teams, with notable organizations like Manchester City payout of their players £135,000.00 weekly. This means players with top teams earn £6.7 million yearly, which comes before any additional bonuses or sponsorship deals.

Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City has become the 13th highest-paying sporting organization according to Global Sports Statistics, who review more than 10 thousand players with 350 teams in eight significant leagues. However, it’s Barcelona that remains the highest-paying organization worldwide, with the 1st place position. The La Liga Champions pay their football stars £9.8 million yearly for standardized members. Their highest-paid athlete of Lionel Messi received £50 million yearly, which is more than any other footballer worldwide.

The second highest-paying team in the Premier League is Real Madrid, with their average star earning £8.9 million. Afterwards, it’s Juventus that takes 3rd place, jumping by six positions since 2018. This indicates that they’ve increased their budget tenfold, with the average player earning £8 million per season. One sporting organization that dropped significant placements was Manchester United, with the average playing earning £7.6 million. This pay decrease comes from a lack of making the Champions League in 2018, which has continued into 2019. This means the 2020 Premier League season will be challenging for the infamous Manchester United.

Associated Cost of Points

Liverpool has one of the highest associated costs in the league, with players costing an average of £140,000.00 per game. This has equated to £50,000.00 per point, which makes them the 9th highest paying team in the Premier League. When it applies to per-point costs, Manchester United saw the highest influx to £109 thousand. Considering they’ve tallied 28 points throughout the 2019 season, it marks their worst per point associated cost in decades. It’s unknown what Manchester United has planned to go forward to rework the 2020 season and retrieve a position into the champions league. Liverpool isn’t declining with their presence in the league but must increase their points-per-game to make acquisitions more valuable for the coaching staff and team owners.
