Will transfer fees will be affected by the global recession?

[meamth]

Tried to find this in caf, apologies if it's been discussed.

I think the whole world is suffering from economic recession. It's inevitable at this point.

What do you think will happen to football transfer fees after Covid19 pandemic?

Clubs surely will have to think twice about whether booting out massive fees is clever, having seen this major world emergency.

 

[Art Vandelay]

They should drop by any rational logic, but knowing football they will find a way to go up.

Jean-Michel Aulas: Lyon president says stopping Ligue 1 season 'massive error'

Aulas says the biggest clubs in the country - PSG, Marseille, Lyon and Bordeaux - will be hit the hardest in terms of revenue from ticketing, sponsorship and television, estimating a total loss of between 300m euros and 400m euros.

"It will be harder than before because Lyon is a club that historically is well run with its own funds," said Aulas, whose club were seventh when the league ended.

"[We have had] reserves and had this profitability which allowed us to be able to either sell well when we wanted to - being in charge of the game - or being able to keep the players because there was no need to sell."

Ties into this a bit. I think there are going to be some clubs that are forced to sell players in order to keep ticking, especially in leagues like La Liga or Ligue 1 where things like tv money etc are shit for the teams outside of the top 1 or 2.

I can see fewer transfers this transfer window but the transfer fees wouldn't change much.
