Transfer fees in the coming window might look a little strange.
The coronavirus pandemic has affected players’ values and so it’s unlikely that we will see eye-watering fees.
Back in April, Transfermarkt revealed some startling details about how the world’s most expensive footballers have been their market value tumble.
Raheem Sterling’s value, for example, decreased from £144 million to £115.2m during the pandemic.
So we can safely say that Transfermarkt’s research into the most valuable starting XI named by each Premier League side in the 2019/20 won’t be changing in the final game of the season.
Quite incredibly, there’s a £785.7 million difference between the most expensive starting line-up named by Liverpool and Sheffield United this season.
