Former striker Dmitriy Bulykin, who played for Bayer, Lokomotiv, and other European and Russian Premier League clubs, compared the expenses of clubs in the English Premier League and the Russian championship in an interview with the online publication Euro-Football.Ru. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He stated that English clubs have very large budgets and earn significant revenue from television rights. Therefore, they have the opportunity to spend large amounts to win the Premier League or even the Champions League competition.
Money is not a problem for them. Unfortunately, our clubs spend money on new players, but they do not deliver the expected results.
As a result, clubs do not receive income. Nevertheless, payments to agents continue.
Our football is so tough and unique. In Europe, the goals are different; the money spent later returns through marketing or the UEFA Champions League.
Our goals are different. In the summer of 2025, the English Premier League team Liverpool broke the tournament transfer record.
125 million euros were paid for the German winger Florian Wirtz.
