Abstrakt

Jednym z fundamentalnych założeń zawodowej piłki nożnej jest rywalizacja, która nie tylko jest istotna dla kibiców, ale także napędza sukces ekonomiczny. Pieniądze niezaprzeczalnie odgrywają znaczącą rolę w sporcie, ponieważ kluby z większymi budżetami często mają lepszych zawodników. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu określenie związku między wartością rynkową zawodników klubów piłkarskich a ich wynikami w 15 najlepszych ligach w Europie według rankingu UEFA. Manchester City ma najwyższą wartość rynkową zawodników w Europie, oszacowaną na 1110 milionów EUR, co stanowi 11,21% całkowitej wartości rynkowej wszystkich zawodników angielskiej Premier League. Podsumowując, w ciągu ostatnich pięciu sezonów – spośród 75 możliwych mistrzów w analizowanych ligach – klub z najdroższym składem wygrywał 54 razy. W konsekwencji nasuwa się pytanie, czy należy podjąć jakiekolwiek środki w celu promowania większej równowagi i zmniejszenia dominacji bogatych klubów w krajowych ligach piłkarskich.
