Abstract

       The study aimed to identify the development of the market values of football clubs in the five major European leagues (Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1) from the beginning of September 2019 to the beginning of September 2023. We have concluded that these leagues have already been negatively affected to varying degrees by the Covid-1 pandemic, and there are varying capabilities among them to recover from this decline, as well as being affected by the movement of players, especially stars, whether arriving or leaving, as well as the volume of investments and television rights that provide good incomes for them. The Premier League model is also the most successful of these leagues.
