Premier League clubs made significant revisions in player transfer cost amortization, aligning them with UEFA standards. As of today (12/12), transfer expenses will be distributed over five years, a substantial shift to ensure consistency and financial balance across contracts, both new and extended.
In addition, a pivotal amendment empowers the Premier League board to intervene when clubs owe transfer debts to other Premier League or EFL clubs. In such instances, the club in question might face restrictions on new signings until the outstanding payments are settled. Furthermore, the board holds the authority to withhold an amount equivalent to the debt from the club’s share of the league’s central funds. This decisive step aims to foster financial responsibility and fair transactions among clubs within the Premier League framework.
