Portugal managed to dethrone Spain in player sales and ascended to the Big5 of leagues that generate the most money from these transactions, something that had not happened in four seasons. This was one of the main conclusions of the analysis carried out by economist Luís Tavares Bravo and journalist Rodolfo Alexandre Reis on the "Economic Game" program.
The transfer window under analysis was marked by financial balance, with only four out of 18 teams presenting a negative balance in their transactions. This data reflects a more balanced management by Portuguese clubs during the transfer period.
The program also addressed the biggest sale of an SAD in Portugal, exploring how this transaction may have a domino effect on the national market. The impact of the World Cup on the transfer market was also discussed, a factor that traditionally influences player movements.
Finally, the open war between UEFA and FIFA was analyzed, which may come to affect the leadership of the body governing football worldwide.
