Premier League clubs spent £815m in a record-breaking January, leading Javier Tebas to label the English transfer market 'doped and inflated'
That constituted a year-on-year fall of 35% in gross spend compared to January 2022. “Transfer income from Premier League clubs, which has historically been an important source of club funding, now appears to be less guaranteed.” According to Deloitte, only £25m was spent on players from the Football League. “The record spending by Premier League clubs this season is beyond anything that we’ve seen before,” he said. “You can see it clearly in this winter market, where Chelsea have made almost half of the signings in the Premier League. It is quite dangerous that the markets are doped, inflated, as has been happening in recent years in Europe, because that can jeopardise the sustainability of European football.

“We played a great game at a very difficult place to come. Barcelona survived to round off the first half of their league campaign with a victory, aiming to win the title for the first time since 2019. Frenkie de Jong cleverly fed Balde from a quick free-kick and the young left-back slid a ball across the face of goal for Raphinha to tap home. Raphinha appealed unsuccessfully for a penalty after a tangle with Abner Vinicius in the area, but the Brazilian’s complaints soon turned to celebrations. Raphinha had a goal ruled out for a clear offside and Kounde flung himself in the way of Sergio Canales’s strike. Jules Kounde scored an unfortunate own goal to give Betis a fighting chance of a point in the final stages but Barcelona held out for the win.

However, patience paid dividends, and a performance that wasn't short of effort or creativity was capped off by him deservedly tapping in the opener after 65 minutes - a goal that would ultimately send Barcelona eight points clear at the top of La Liga. Pedri forced a fantastic save out of Rui Silva early on in the second period as Barcelona ramped up the pressure. Raphinha had the ball in the back of the net, but saw his goal chalked off for offside; a summary of a frustrating 45 minutes that saw La Blaugrana unable to finish their chances.
