Behind the bags of the melting rock, the transfer balance of “Girniki” recorded a profit of 98 million euros.

The International Center for Sports Research CIES continues to support the expansion of 2023 by conducting research on transfer costs in football leagues around the world and clubs.

Thus, Donetsk Shakhtar closed the top five teams in the world with a positive transfer balance, recording a total income of 98 million euros.

The same results are shown by the Dutch PSV, while the French Rennes (+103 million), the Portuguese Benfica (+114 million) and the Spanish Villarreal (+129 million) have higher figures..

According to Dzherel, Shakhtar invested 15 million euros in the signing of new players in 2023, while the proceeds from the sale of football players amounted to 113 million euros, which made it possible to set a new record transfer of Ukrainian football to Chelsea in the person of Mikhail Mudryk.

It is significant that Shakhtar’s positive transfer balance for the 2023 packages also allowed the rock to finish among the shortest championships in the world behind this showing of the Ukrainian Premier League, which finished in ninth place (+144 million € vro).

UPL clubs have invested 19 million euros in new drivers, and earned 163 million on sales. The highest transfer balance was recorded among the clubs of the English Championship (+348 million euros).

Apparently, earlier CIES published a list of the ten greatest leftists of the world in 2023, before which the Ukrainian Oleksandr Zinchenko was killed.
