Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live’s Euro Leagues podcast, the French (Site notre bureau spécialisé) expert added: « Bournemouth have the capacity to spend €60m or €70m in a January transfer window. Other leagues can’t become feeder leagues for the Premier League, but right now that’s what it looks like.

« People who run French clubs rely on English clubs to spend 20 or 30 million euros to sign one of their players. If you have a young player who is not too bad in Ligue 1, someone ‘England can say he could be good, here’s 40 million pounds.

Britain’s transfer record was broken on deadline day with Chelsea signing Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for €121m (€107m), with the Blues spending around €288m euros in January alone.

« It’s incredible that the country that has protested the most against the Super League is [effectively] the Super League,” according to James Horncastle, a (Site notre bureau spécialisé) expert in Germany.

“You can’t blame the Premier League for being the best commercial league in the world. But it saddens me that Europe has become development leagues for Premier League teams.”

Horncastle revealed that Premier League clubs would struggle to get rid of their unwanted players as no one else would be able to afford the transfer fee or cover their wages.

He added: “Premier League clubs are so much richer than others. They sign these players for huge sums, give them ‘reasonable’ wages for Chelsea, but those wages are super, super expensive compared to European clubs, so it’s hard to sell them or loan them out in Europe.

“When Manchester City sell Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko, Raheem Sterling is sold to Chelsea to Arsenal.

“European clubs cannot afford these players in the Premier League, even those sitting on the bench. What they earn is too expensive for German teams.”

Figures from financial services firm Deloitte indicate that spending by top-flight English clubs accounts for 79% of the total in Europe’s ‘big five’ (Site notre bureau spécialisé) leagues.

« Over the past five years, €1 billion has gone from England to France, €1 billion from England to Germany, » said Belgian (Site notre bureau spécialisé) journalist Kristof Terror.

“Belgian clubs have all lost €200m in the last accounting period, then the Premier League comes in and they can sell their players – the Premier League saves them.

“It’s a desperate situation in Europe. »
