From a market value of 10 million: The most valuable players in the Süper Lig
The reason for the high expenses this year is an increase in budget limits, which made it possible for the clubs to be much more active on the transfer market. It is important here that it is not a matter of transfer budgets, but of the entire budget, which is also used to finance the players’ salaries. Gökhan Yagmur, Area Manager Turkey, says: “Clubs are allowed to invest a lot more this season. Fenerbahce’s budget limit rose from 48 million euros in 2021 to 75 million euros in 2022.” This means that financial fair play within the league “virtually no longer plays a role”.
