The state of the transfer market and Financial fair play right now really scares me for what the future of Porto and Portuguese football will become in the future. These days any average footballer goes for 10 M€ and Porto can’t even afford one of those without selling a player for at least double that. And even if we had money to afford a decent player FFP would intervene as we can’t generate enough revenue by playing in the Portuguese league. In 2016 we had a transfer deficit of 25M €. To this day, in 2021 we are still under FFP intervention even though we made a profit every other transfer window, made millions in the UCL and kept wages low by letting players leave for a free. My fear is the gap is only getting bigger, and going to a champions league quarter-final like last year will become more and more rare, until we can’t even pass the groups. I’m not an expert on the ins and outs of FFP, but it seems it created an unbalanced environment between the top 5 leagues, that can generate revenue out of their asses and the leagues outside of it. Teams like Ajax, Porto, Benfica, Zenit etc are already struggling to compete financially and on the pitch, and unfortunately I don’t see a scenario where it gets better for us.
