Swiss clubs made a lot of money last year thanks to the sale of players like Zeki Amdouni (left).

There was a time during the Corona pandemic when the numbers in the football transfer market literally collapsed. Transfer fees paid fell significantly, football seemed to be purified and there was a new humility.

However, FIFA’s latest evaluation now shows that the football world has been hot again for quite some time. New record numbers are even being recorded.

Saudi clubs and English clubs are setting records

The number of “cross-border transfers” in 2023 alone is a new record of 74,836 transfers. This is evident from the Global Transfer Report that FIFA published on Tuesday.

The total amount of paid transfers will also reach unprecedented heights in 2023. Clubs paid a total of $9.63 billion in international transfer fees. For comparison: in the previous record year 2019, $2 billion less was paid in transfer fees.

However, these figures are not surprising as the Saudi clubs, especially the rich ones, are new to the transfer market. In addition, the Premier League clubs will also spend big money in 2023. Last summer, Arsenal paid the most for midfielder Declan Rice (25), the equivalent of just 108 million francs.

The Swiss clubs operate at a much lower level. According to FIFA, Basel, YB & Co. spent just over 45 million francs on transfer fees last year – in 2022 that was still around 33 million francs. Thanks to the sale of stars such as Zeki Amdouni, Fabian Rieder and Andy Diouf, transfer income increased from 81 million francs to more than 116 million for the Super League clubs.

The numbers are also increasing among women

According to the 2023 FIFA report, a total of 1,024 clubs spent on international transfers. It is the first time ever that more than a thousand clubs invest in transfer fees for new players from abroad.

Women’s football is also experiencing enormous growth: no less than 20 percent more transfers were registered among women than in 2022. In addition, significantly more teams were involved in switching activities. “All these figures show the enormous development in women’s football, with more and more players turning professional,” FIFA wrote in a statement.
